Very nice! I wish I could find a set of the Razors with that offset...need them to fit a BBK and the ones I'm finding for sale don't.

Here it is ........... got mine on special at $149.00 each for 20" gunmetal
you have to look for the 2004 and - for that offset on there site.

ps. Ask if its the 24mm or like mine 24+2 for the gt500. 24mm do clear BBK, i did not ask for the +2mm and the ads said 24mm, just notice when i received the order, maybe that's why they where on special.

you think so? I wish it was lower! I am running sportlines, and I didn;t even cut the stock bump stops, that would lower me a tad bit more in the rear, but I want coilovers next.. haha

just the normal stuff, spare tire, jack, and shaker1000 sub. sportlines give it a pretty low stance

and yes its sonic blue!

Wow, where do you live? It is so nice and sunny there!

How much do sportlines lower the front and back?

I have a question for everyone. I have an 05 Mustang GT and I want to get XXR 521 wheels that are 18X10, but the problem is I don't know what Offset, fitment, Backspacing to get for the wheels to be as flush as possible with the fenders.

I looked on their site and they list the 18x10's with a maximum of a 25mm offset. This wheels will stick out a bit pass the fender depending on the tire. 255's would work best to try keep it flush with a mild stretch on all 4 corners. If you don't mind a little poke a 275 will work as-well.

If you go to a staggered set up the 18x8.5's with the 24mm offset will work with a 245 tire up front.

I run a 18x8.5 up front with a 25mm offset and a 5mm spacer with some negative camber using CC plates and I think that's as flush as you can get on that size wheel.

just for instance my car has 19x9.5 + 35 on all corners, its pretty flush in the rear and could use maybe 3-5 more mm to be flush in the front, but from just looking at it, it sits perfect to me.


a 10" wheel would probably need a +38-42 to sit near flush.

however at 1 point I was going to put 20x10 +35 on all corners. that would be pretty aggressive and with the right tire size wouldnt poke too much.
