wheel offset/backspacing on AM bullit wheel
American Muscle is selling 18 inch matte black bullit wheels for both 99 to 04 and 05 to 10 Mustangs. My car is a 2005 Mustang GT.
I would like to go with a 18 x 10 inch wheel in the rear with a 305/40/18 Nitto NT555R drag radial tire. Ideally, I would like to have the wheel flushed with the fender. I am wondering if the wheel from the 99 to 04 will give me this look as opposed to the 05 to 10 wheel.
Here are the back spacing and off set specs for the 18 x 10 inch wheels:
99 to 04
back spacing: 6.3"
off set: +24mm
05 to 10
back spacing: 7.2"
off set: +45mm
Thanks for the input!

Hopefully someone can help us out. I have 20x9 Shelby Razors on right now with a plus 24mm offset and they are perfectly flushed.
I can not remember the back spacing on my current wheel.

To answer your question, No the 99-04 wheels will have to much negative offset and will not work with that tire. Thye will stick out close to 2" pass the fender.
Most 305's tires are 12" wide and will bulge on a 10" wheel the 45mm offset will sit flusher than the 24mm. It's better to use a spacer than to guess offset.

Yes, please let me know how things fit? For some reason I am suspecting 6.3" back space and +24mm offset will sit flush but I am not 100% sure. I called American Muscle and the rep I spoke with was unsure as well.

We have the these set up year specific for a reason! The +45 offset will be just about flush on your 05+, if you'd like it to be 100% flush or a little bit outside the fender then a Spacer will be good.

I want to get the similar look as my Razors which are pretty well flushed at the front and they stick out a hairline past the fender in the back. They are 20 x 9 with +24mm offset. The Razors also have a +40mm offset and that would have set the wheel back too far for me in the wheel well.
