Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what size steel rims they are using and what offset? It's only been in the last week that I've actually found rims that companies claim will fit the 05 Mustang. I checked my local Ford dealer and they don't have anything. Right now, Tirerack is selling a 16x7 steel rim, but don't mention the offset. 1010tires is selling a 16x6.5 with a 41mm offset they say fits the 05 Mustang. The reason I'm asking is that a local shop is trying to sell me a 16x6.5 with a 37mm offset... I tried it on the front and back of the vehicle, and it clears the calipers, but I'm worried that with the bulge of the 215/65/16 tire that it might rub on the front strut under certain situations (maybe I'm being overly paranoid but there doesn't seem to be much room). The other thing that is making me paranoid is this rim they are selling is a generic rim for a 2001 Dodge Intrepid, and I figure if this worked with no problems, then tirerack would have been selling it... Any thoughts? Thanks.

Dont do it. They are selling you bicycle tires. Go WIDE! hehe. I hear you can get some 18x9's and that they wont rub. But thats word of mouth. I dont know the largest you can go. But a dealer should have that information. (Ive made it a hobby to stop by and bug the service department of my dealership weekly with warranty questions)
