[QUOTE=TRS;6518405]HEY, I'M NEW TO THE SITE AND HAVE NOT POSTED BEFORE SO PLEASE BE PATIENT. I AM TRYING TO BUY A SET OF CUSTOM WHEELS FOR MY SON'S 2010 FORD MUSTANG, V6, BASE MODEL. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL CUSTOM WHEEL SALESMEN. SOME TELL ME THE +40 MM OFF SET WILL NOT WORK, THAT THERE IS NOT ENOUGH INSIDE CLEARANCE, SOME SAY THE WILL WORK, THE WHEELS ARE 18" X 8" , SOME TELL ME THE MOST OFF SET IS +35 MM. I WOULD SURE APPRECIATE THE HELP. AS I AM LOST!!

The stock V6 17s are +40mm. The 18s and 19s are higher offset. Usually +42-44mm depending on wheel style.

Example: 19x9.5 RTR wheels are +33mm.
Point is. You will be fine either way.

 

THANKS, SO WOULD THE +40 MM OFF SET WORK ON AN 18" WHEEL, THE WHEELS ARE ADVANTI RACING PRODIGO. SORRY I JUST DON'T MUCH ABOUT THIS. WOULD APPRECIATE THE HELP.

 

Yes they will bolt on and clear. However, they won't be flush with the fender. It depends on your preference. I personally like tires that stick out a bit.

 

THANKS AGAIN NOT KNOWING MUCH ABOUT THIS, YOUR SAYING THEY WILL SET INSIDE THE FENDER WELL OR RIGHT AT IT, LOOKING AT 235/50R18 TIRES.

 

Yes. 235/50/18 is the stock size for that rim. (Standard GT wheel set up)


With that set up, your wheels will pretty much look stock GT in size. The only difference will be the design of the rim itself.

Have you considered going wider? I run 18x9 in front and 18x10s in the back. I too have a base V6. I personally think wider tires look better. However, they cost more.

 

I think you need a new keyboard to go with those wheels and tires... your caps lock seems to be broken/stuck. Here's a nice combo:

ALL CAPS MEANS YOU ARE SHOUTING AND MY EARS RING PLENTY ALREADY.

Patrick has you covered on the wheel/tire thing.

/kiddin', but for a purpose.
