Default will these wheels work?

http://www.americanmuscle.com/de.html
They are for the 94-04, but I was wondering if they would work or if they won't why they wont work. I like the look of them better than the deep dish 18x9 rims (the only way to get the black bullet in an 18x9 is deep dish for the 05's).

They will work, but they will stick out atleast an inch futher than the stock rims. The paint on your car will suffer badly from rock chips.

They make black bullits in the correct offset for our cars.

they make a non-deep dish black bullet in an 18x9?? I've been looking for a while and have yet to find one, if you know where you can get them please please let me know! I know one guy said he ordered them from oewheels direct, but their website is broken/site maintenence

They will work just fine, My wheels are also 18x9 with 24mm offset. My wheelwells/fenders have not suffered, in fact I think they stick out just right. They are not beyond the fender.

Maybe not beyond the fender when looking at the top, but what about the side of the fender, you know where the rock is going to be thrown at. I would stick to the stock offset personally. Do the 04 wheels have a 24mm offset?
