Hey everyone, I was thinking that the offset for the new mustang was diff. then the previous ones and the 99-04 rims wouldnt fit, is this true? Would these tires/rims fit the new V-6 stang? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=7934355824

They will not stick out, they would interfer with the calipers. The 94-04 have a +30mm offset for 17x8 and the 05 has a +45mm. You can maybe add a 1/4" spacer (6.35mm) but I doubt it will enough. A 1/4" spacer is the largest spacer you can put before having to put one with some wheel studs.

I have some 17x9 Cobra R I use for the track and I hope I will be able to make them fit on my 05 with some 1/4" spacers. I will have to wait 'till spring when I get mine.
