Question 17 x 9 bullitt wheels

Does anyone know where I can get a pair of 17 x 9 polished aluminum bullitt rims for my 07 Mustang. They have them for 05+ in every finish except for polished aluminum. All I can find is 94-04 rims but the backspacing is off by 21mm. I'm planning on running 26x11.5-17 ET Street slicks. I just want to make sure there wont be any rubbing. Will the 94-04 rims and those slicks fit under my car? If they rub just a little I can always use a thin mr. gasket wheel spacer. Id rather be mixed matched with chrome & polished aluminum than pay over $150 for Eibach wheel spacers. Any help would be great, Thanks!

I have the '94-'04 17x9" anthracite Bullits from CJPonyParts with the OEM '05 Pirellis on them and there's no rubbing whatsoever.
The different offset and larger rim width give the car a better stance. I haven't lowered the car, so there's no worry. Width-wise, the tires still fit under the fenders.

I got my 05+ offset 17X9 black bullits from wheelindex on ebay. I'm sure they would have polished.

Those rims are the same type that I found, it says they will fit 94-04 mustangs. now that I think of it though, the 94-04 backspacing is +24mm offset and the 05+ is +45mm this should mean that the wheel and tire will just stick out more if I went with an 04-94 rim, which will work out good cuz I know those slicks will clear the wheel well. My only concern was rubbing on the inside. I think I answered my own question

Not at all! they fit 2005-07 Mustangs!
Part number 5R3Z-1007 EA are polished wheels for 05-07 Stangs
the part number 4R3-1007MA are for 94-04 Stangs.
Your dealer has to control!
