I posted this in the tire and wheel forum but couldn't get a response

I know that this may be a stupid question butwould a 20 inch FWD rim be ok if i put it on my 05 RWDMustang or would i have to get a set of rims that are RWD or AWD? I'm just confused because the guy on ebay said that it would be fine on my car.

If it mattered.. you would not be able to rotate your tires..

 

FWD is usually what we do put on these cars. FWD and RWD rims has to do with the offset and the offset on our car is more set for a fwd car. The older stangs offset was more rwd. You should find out the offset of the rims though to be sure they are correct because with 20s you have little room for error


Edit for those who want to know. RWD offset usually stick out bit more and fwd go farther in which is why on the s197 you can put 20*10 and they dont stick out but you couldnt do that with the older stangs

 

just make your mustang fwd and then it will be cool, or make it 4x4 and put some big swamper tires on it

 

Thanx for the replies! but how do i make my mustang a fwd?"

 

i have no idea i dont even know what fwd is but i think its front wheel drive. having a front wheel drive mustang would probably make alot of people on herepee their pants, including me, but my urinaryissuesare none ofyour business so stop asking about them

 

It doesn't matter what those wheels were made for; they're freaking ugly!

 

why in gods name would you want a classic american muscle car to be Front wheel drive? jesus christ I don't even know what to say to that except maybe you should be driving a honda accord....have fun with your grocery getter

 

see...

 

NO NO NO...I don't want my stang to be a fwd. I just want to know if fwd rims would be fully functional on my car (not necessarily the rims from that link...i was just givin an example).
