let me know dood, i dont like 'em, too heavy and they rub up front. I wasn't thinking and i put clip on weghts on the inside last time I balanced 'em and when they rub on the control arms (when I lock the wheel in a parking lot) it moves the weight around so my car vibrates all the time on the freeway (ANNOYING!). Use tape weights with 'em.

stock height, 17's wouldn't rub but 18's do a little when you lock the wheel when your like turning in a parking lot. Which is a pain in the *** because mustangs already dont turn very sharp, not being able to lock the wheel is ridicoulous.

also how wide the wheel is determines how wide the tire will be when mounted.
