Hi...

I seached for about a hour for the backspacing for upgrade machined cast aluminum wheels for the 2005 GT. I am selling them and someone asked me. I do not know. Can someone help me please?

I have just put on Ford's new 17x8 black bullets with spinners. I will post how the look on a Silver Mustang later. It's now the shop get lowered.

Thank alot,
Brenton

Brenton - BS on the 05 wheels is 30 MM. BS on the 04 and below Bullitts & Machs is 45 MM. Did you get the 05 version of the Black Bullitts or 04 version. Just curious, if you got the 05's, how much is Ford charging.

Thanks, Mark.

Are you sure? I think you got that backwards. The offset on the 05 rims is 45mm. Backspacing I believe is 6.25". Offset on the 95-04 depends on what rim you went with. Some were 34mm, 30mm and 24mm. That is why if you put an 04 rim on an 05 it sticks out more because of a smaller offset.
