The wheels are 18x9" saleen replicas with +36mm offset. I believe they are the same ones you can get from mustang tuning, but I got them from a place in riverside ca because they were less expensive ($800 shipped)and came with real saleen centercaps. The tires are nitto 555 255 45 18's. They have a bit more profile than I am used to seeing on the 18" saleen wheels because of the taller height of the 05+, but I like them more and more as I get used to them.

I don't know what they did to align it. I work in sales for a ford dealership here in san diego, and had the shop lower it. It wasn't to within specs at first,so they had to drill something to get it right. They started to explain it and I decided half way through their explanation that I would rather not know what they were doing to my brand new car to get it aligned. I got a spec sheet and it is within spec now. Ride quality is still good if not a little more firm, but it handles a lot better now. They did screw up my rear bumper putting it on the rack, which i am less than thrilled with.
