Default Wheels & rims Fit

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knew if a 20 x 9 inch rims with 255/35/R20 tires on a 2005 Mustang GT (lowered with Eibach springs) would fit without hiting fender. I'm looking at the New American Racing Shelby Razors. Thanks for any info!!

I think you may want to go 275's though 255 would seem to be kind of narrow on a 9" wheel. But other than that should not be a problem. The other thing I noticed is the offset seems kinda low on those wheels 24mm for an 05 06?

Thanks for info, but, the 24mm offset meaning that the tire will stick out pass fender or won't at all. Cause factory rims have a 45mm offset. I want the tires to be flush with the fender. What do you suggests?

24mm of negative offset is not enough. If the fastory is 45 or 46 on an 8" rim, you will need more than that for a 9" wheel. ( FYI---OFFSET is the measurment from the imaginary center of the wheel to the mounting surface off the wheel. A negative offset will bring the wheel in, and a possitive offset will give you a "deep dish" effect where the wheel sticks out)
