Ford GT rims

Ive been wanting to get actual Ford GT rims i found a site that sells the front which are 18x9 for $300.99 and the rears which are 19x11 for $484.99.

My question is, will those fit on a Mustang with Eibach prokit lowering springs, or at all?

from what i hear and from what i talked to my sponsor about the GT rear rim has the offset as the 05 wheel but i have heard that you need to modify a bit to fit the 19X11.5 wheel but the 18X9 will fit...i should be ordering mine next year though so that is all i can help with

By modify, what do you mean? Do u have to pound out the rear wheel well a bit or go as far a tubbing it? Or could you possible go with some really low profile tires?

And by the way, where do you plan to get your rims from and for what price?

You will just have to pound in and a cut just a little to fit or you can get fender flares made and just use wheel spacers.

FWIW...my buddy had ( he sold it) a mustang w/ 19 x11's ( rear) on it w/ 315's Pirelli's and they fit perfectly inside the rear fender without any rubbing problems...I'll see if he can give me the exact sizes

All I can say for the small spoke rims is that you are looking at 995 for the front and 1000 for the rear from ford...I am buying the six spoke one though...that one is 300 for front and 400 for the rears

The wheels linked in post #1 are remanufactured. They're not new.

The 18x9" Ford GT wheels look great on all four corners of the 2005+ Mustangs. PSH wears them.

Brad, what do you mean "remanufctured?" Are these scratch and dent items? It's not like a computer that the board can be replaced.

Even if i had to put spacers Id go with the wide ones in the rear. Does anyone make flares that would look good on our mustangs?
