Offset on Optional Rims?
Hey guys, tried searching, unsuccessful. Does anyone know what the offset is on the stock, optional 18x8's below? Any help would be appreciated.

It's like 50mm I think.

It is cast into the back of the wheel.

The specs for those wheels are the same as the Black version from Ford Racing.
  • 2005-2013 Mustang GT and 2005-2013 Mustang V6
  • 18" x 8" wide
  • 5-lug 4.5" bolt circle
  • 40mm offset
  • 6.3" backspacing

Positive offset pushes the wheel to the inside, negative to the outside.
