Hey, I've been looking for a new set of wheels for my 05 lately, and came across these. the lug pattern is right, but I dont know how offset works, but these fit the 99-04's...

So, with that offset (+24mm), would it fit the 05?

When you go to a 9 inch wide wheel on this car you need at least a 45 offset. I wanted that wheel too. I have on order custom American Racing TT 2's with a custom offset. Go to there web site, they are the 405 TT 2 model.

All SN95 wheels will fit, but they will stick out too much because of the low ET. All currently offered replicas of Bullits, Saleens, FRP, etc wheels all are specifically designed to fit the SN95's. It will take some time (my guess at least half a year) before the replica jobs come in new 05 offset.

With the 05 wheels Ford has moved to a more commonly used offset value, and that's why now all of a sudden the regular brand wheels can be applied, even in wider sizes. We've seen various examples on the main board. Check tirerack for various posibile models, they will also show the correct ET values for the 05 application.

That's because of the offset they are listed as rwd/trucks.

Update on this thread. I emailed the people who produce the replicas and they said they are working on an 05 version but no time frame as of yet

It'll take some time as they are actually manufactured in China. But they have taken a good chunck of the SN95 aftermarket in recent years with a very nice collection of rims, so they will probably not back out of the new 05 market. Expect to see 18" and maybe even 19" ers in various styles. Looking forward to the bullits in the right ET value!
