I found a pair of Ford GT 19x11.5 rear wheels that are used, I can get them from this guy for around $500 for both wheels. They are basically brand new, and I know that the front 18x9 of course work on the 2005+ mustang, but what about the rear wheels? I like the idea of some fat rubber in the back with 19x11.5 wheels, but I have to know if they would fit? I do not plan on having suspension on the car, and it is a 2006 Mustang GT 5 Speed.

Thanks again [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/worship.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/worship.gif[/img]

That'd be a close one. On an 11.5" rim you'd want nothing less than 315s... and I think 315s are the limit for the rear wheel well. Offset plays a role too. If you can possibly fit a 335/30-19 out back you'd be fine. Otherwise it's gonna be tight.

So would 19x11.5 rear wheels with 315/30/19 give me enough meat in the rear, or would I basically be on rubberbands? I would really like this staggered set-up, but only if I get enough tire in the back. If i have to go with huge expensive tires, but I have to stick with super low profile tires, I will just go with 18x9 Ford GT wheels all around with some larger sidewalled tires.
