Default What are the size limits on wheels for the '05's?

I am looking into new wheels but im not sure what to get.
I kind of want wider wheels on the back but I'm not sure if thats possible with my car. I was looking at these FR500's 18X10's I don't know if they will fit. I was thinking 18X10's in the back and 17X9's or 18X9 in the font, or whatever.
thanks if you can help!

edit: I should try and read better next time, but I found these wheels that say they fit the v6 and gt 05's. now will there be an issue though if I go with the 18x10's in the back? also what size tires would fit these things? I dont know much about tire sizes.

no doubt the 18x10's will fit, 19x11 will fit with a little rubbing. cause the 20x10's fit perfectly. just look at the cervini kit, but i wanted to ask the same question man, cause i want to know what the max offset is for our 05+ gt's

when you say with rubbing you mean on the front wheels? and you mean when you turn the wheel right?

Thats what he means, but as far as rims go I would't go with anything bigger than 18s.

If I get 18's I want to get a smaller tire so the actual circumference of the tire/rim isnt any bigger than stock right?

That's the goal you are shooting for, but tire profile is up to you. Remember you may have to get your speedometer retuned if your size does come out to be different. I know on 17s it will come out the same, but I'm not sure about 18s.

it dont make that much of a difference on ur speedometer where u have to do that unless u get like 22's+ thats just for people that SUVS and stuff, rims wont affect nothing but the fender well with bigger wheels

my xcal2 lets you select the tire size, so that shouldn't be a problem.
so you guys think I could get these for the front:

and these for the rear:

oooo that would look nice because the rears are deep dish and the front is not

Those rears will stick out - the stock offset (IIRC) on the 05-06 is +45mm, so those will be wider *and* start an inch farther out. Note that it says they are for the 94-04 Mustang, which is set up for wheels with a smaller offset.

If they stick out an inch more than the stock ones will that matter? could I still do it?
