Wheel offset question...
I have a question about wheel offset.
I found some rims I like that are size 18 x 8.5 (255/45 tires) with a 45mm offset. Would these fit my stang? These wheels also come in 19 x 8.5 (255/40 tires) with a 35mm offset. If the 18's don't fit, will the 19's fit? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

RE: Wheel offset question...
The 18"s you indicated should fit fine.
Once again:
OEM 17"x8" wheels come with +45mm offset (235/55/17 tires)
OEM 18x8.5" wheels come with +50mm offset (235/50/18 tires)
The difference here is mostly to put the outer wheel face in the same place as the 17" wheel. There's plenty of room for 8.5" wheels with +45mm offset, they'll only be set forward a 1/4" or so from the 18" OEM set up.
Best,
