18x10 Wheels + IRS?

Anyone know if there would be any problems using the 18x10 Deep Dish Bullitt Rims with the 2003 IRS? I'm not sure if there would be any clearance problems, but I just wanted to check with the experts here!

man your car hooks up great with the tires you have now. you better add some more hp to be able to use whatever size tire you get to fit 10" wide rims

I'd like to move to 18" rims it just looks a lot better, and besies the front tires need replacing in the spring so it's a good reason to upgrade to 18's, don't you think? I think there is enough power getting to the wheels to support 18's.
I just find it hard to believe that a cobra owner hasn't tried the 18x10 rims.

It seems lke after they released the 05, everyone with a pre 05 Mustang fell off the face of the earth. Maybe we should figure out where they went and move there!

I don't have any thing close to 605 at the rear, but love the look of the 18x10 deep dish. Do you have any pictures of what you shaved off to make the 335's fit? But if 1/4" spacers is all that I would need, then it's not too bad.
