I have an 06 Tungsten on order and these are the exact rims I'd like to eventually put on. Want to see lots of pictures once you get them on.

To all: you may already be aware of this, but you'll have to buy spacers for the 18 x 9 to fit the front. Without them, you hit the brake calipers (backspacing is wrong by about 1/4"). You can get 7/32" spacers from Summit racing, or 5/16" at Pep Boys.

Not sure what the long term solution is (from MustangTuning), but you have to have spacers to make them work. :bang:

I hope you can really tell the difference between the 18x9 and 10...Are the 18x9's the deep dish ones they are already selling?..hopefully the lip on the 10" rim is cosiderably fatter.

I have had some discussion wih MustangTuning, both a Sales manager and a Service Rep. The Manager was aware of the issue as of last Friday (August 12th) and they have found that these same wheels fit the V6'ers due to the smaller calipers.

He stated that they would have a fix for this by the end of business today. Whether that is shipping with the required spacers or retooling the wheels, I don't know. I did ask that they update the web site to alert buyers of the issues.

I'll call MustangTuning again and let them that the wheels DO NOT fit the V6 either, at least mine! I had exactly the same fitment issues that the GT guys are describing. Problem is not the diameter of the setup. The issue is the distance from the face of the rotor (where the wheel sits against) and the caliper itself. The entire face of the caliper hits the wheel spokes, not just the outermost portion. :notnice:

They will reimburse you for the spacers and shipping as well. Just contact them through email or through their forums.
