Default Not your typical mustang wheels

I'm trying to find some wheels for my s197 but i don't want the typical mustang wheels. I'm thinking about getting some Mb Battle wheels 18x10 +23 offset, is any one running this aggressive of an offset? What were some of your fitment issues if you had any? Do any of you guys have pictures of mustang with non typical mustang wheels? Post them!

+23 will stick them out from the fenders quite a bit.
OEM on S197s are +39 for 7.5" wide rims, +45 for 8"
wide rims and +50 for 8.5" rims
And your scrub radius will be way out of spec...

for a 10" wide wheel, you'll want around +30 for a good / flush fitment. +22 would poke a little bit.

10" would require +50 or more to be contained inside the wheel wells...

8.5" OEMs have +50...

8 more millimeters is only 0.315 thousands of an inch,
just shy of 3/8 of an inch...

Remember, 25.4mm equals 1 inch.
