I think I have made a decision to get some new wheels, the Boyd Coddington Smoothie II. I would like to get the 18x9 up front and 18x10 in back. However, I had no clue what offet I need for the back. Can some of out tire/rim experts out there assist me

New rims on the mind huh? Sorry I don't any info, but I want to know the offset too for my soon to be deep dish bullitts.

Any pics of these rims? Are they new?

Real nice. Does the fact that you have 19s make a differance?

Not really. The difference between the stock wheel height and mine is about 0.6 inches. I'm not sure how much heavier these wheels are but I can't feel a difference.

John,
Would you feel comfortable going any wider in the back on the 18x10s?

Not really. After lowering my car I have 1/4" clearance on each side of the tire. If I went with 295's I'm pretty sure it would rub going over train tracks or major bumps.

Hey Bryan, on your Speed of Sound A-pillar gauge pod, do they have one for the 05 Mustang? Or did the previous years fit our car?

Thanks!,
Dallas

They are suppoed to be released soon for the 05 Mustang. A single piece that goes from the front windshield all the way back to the door - Just like the stock one. I spoke to them about a month ago and they said "6 weeks". So as of today we are about 2 weeks away. Lets hope they have them ready by months end (Sept).

let alan know (alan@speedofsoundllc.com) if you are intrested - it may help spark a push to get them too us
