Sorry guys keep on forgetting it...just saw some american racing rims i like and cant remember the bolt circle...i know you guys will post it within like 2 min after i throw this up...thanks!

 

has it been 2 minutes yet?

 

haha little over i think its 30 mm but theres also an inch # like 4.5 in x 5.25 in.

 

i think it is 4.5 x 5

 

SPECIFICATIONS:

Original 2005 Ford Mustang GT Standard Wheels
Wheel Size - 17" X 8"
Offset - 45 mm
Bolt Pattern - 4 1/2"

 

humm good work but is that 4.5 x 4.5?

 

Bolt pattern is 4 1/2".......Number of lugs for the wheel would be 5
Hence the numbers of 4 1/2" x 5 holes in the wheel
( 4 1/2" x 5 )

 

oh ok gotcha, i was unclear on how to read bolt patterns... can you clarify the mm portion of it...cus the wheels im looking at have that bolt pattern but the offset is only 30 mm. Thanks

 

The offset is in fact 45mm

 

how does the offset relate to the wheel though? can you use a 30mm offset on a car that originally had a 45mm offset? is it similar to how you can use a 255 tire on a 8 inch wheel when it comes with a 245? Im just a little unsure of how much of an impact this offset has on the proper fit of a wheel

 

Just found this from a post back in August that talks about the offsets of the 04 and 05 wheels. Subject : If the 04 wheel would fit the new 05 Mustang, in relationship to how far it will stick out of the wheel well.

I don't think spacers will work, because the offest is different going the other way. The '05 has a larger offset than the '04, so putting '04 wheels on an '05 would make them stick out too far and hit the wheel wells. So, spacers would make it even worse. As far as I know (heard this by others in a different thread) the '05 has the same bolt pattern: 5-114mm, or 5x4.5". And the '05 offset is 45mm. I believe the '04 is something like 30mm.

 

is the bolt pattern still standard? I thought it was all metric now? I know that my Expedition is 5 X 135mm

that makes it 5.314961 inches...

 

I think this is wheel offset.......http://www.jjournal.net/jeep/referen...els/offset.gif

 

where was this moved to and why?

 

I see a lot of wheels only up to 42 off set. Which way does that move the wheel inward or outward? I'm thinking outward.

 

Yes. Outward.

 

Wonder why that guy was banned??

 

I think he pissed off Brad.
