Default 15" wheels without spacers

I'm going shopping around for rims and tires tomorrow. Anybody know of a 15" set that i can get that won't require spacers? I'm sure this question has been asked before. Getting tired of the stock rims currently on there. I wan't something with a little more eye appeal...and something shiny that will really offset the black paint job I'm looking to have done. Oh, and not break the bank, too.

depends are you talking modern wheels or not and also how wide.

Nick has a tyre and wheel fitment chart - good place to start.

I'm thinking modern, yes, but not so wide that they're poking out the side of the fenderwells and that I don't have to do any rolling. I just want them to fill the space nicely and give it a little better stance.

Ok, I understand.

I suggest youhave a look at Nicks chart, pick the size wheel/tyre combo you are considering and ask your wheel shop if you can get it in the appropriate backspacing (which will probablybe 3.75" and up)

oh...and post some pics of what you are thinking of getting

The offset is the reason you need a spacer to use newer stock mustang rims nicks chart is nice theres a lot of after market rims that will fit no spacer.
