Yeah, round rims have been known to free up horsepower. If I do change my rims, those are the Cragars I'm puttin' on.

Careful, that +24mm offset is for 04'and earlier! Type in 05' Mustang on ebay and you'll find the same rim for our year. Alot of people are claiming that the Saleen, Bullitts, Deepdish and other popular mustang rims are the same from 94' to 05' but there not! Do your homework on the proper rim size offset so you don't get bit...

I have the 18" chrome bullits that have the 25mm offset and they work just fine. They stick out a little farther than stock, but look great to me. There is no problem with the fit. Just my .02 as some have stated that you could get 'bit'. If you don't want the tires to stick out any more than stock, then they are not for you. Otherwise, no problem.

Great choices, they do make that MachI style rim in all chrome that's pretty sweet too. [sm=insomnia.gif]

gwfoos: I stand corrected, they will work if you don't care about your offset. I personally don't want any tire beyond my fenders, I like the fact you can get even a 10.5" rim tucked nicely under you car with the proper offset.

Maui:

No problem. I was worried after I bought them about fitting and then sticking out too far, but they are almost exactly even with the fenders. From some angles they look like they stick out by about 5mm and then others look like a perfect fit under the fender. Certainly from the back you can see more tire, and that's the only place people see on my car when it's not parked.

Let's hope that the strut TSB that I am going to get taken care of doesn't cause some mechanic to deny warranty service because of an offset issue. Considering how some people have been worked over by their dealerships, I don't know what to expect. Here's to hoping.
