Nice old school AR Torq Thrust wheels TheDivaDanielle!!! I myst confess that your car was the inspiration for me getting the same wheels in mine. 20x8.5" fronts and 20x10" Rears. One thing I notice is the ride is a bit harder than the stock 19's. Mine came with Nitto tires all around. I also have a slight vibration at highway speeds. I bought them from LMR...
berry nice

meow?
I think I might forever have torq thrust style wheels on my cars. Even had them on my PaceCar GTP. Please be gentle, it's what I drove a decade ago. I think it was a cool car for a 20 year old in 2003.

Hi Greg, thanks for the e-mail, and sorry for the late reply. On Mustang GT’s using Brembo’s, and on all GT500’s, the normal M will not clear. However, certain Torq-Thrust M 105/605’s that have SS towards the end of the part number will clear the brakes, and their part numbers are as follows:
(Front) AR105M28566SSA (Anthracite Grey) AR105M28566SSB (Gloss Black) AR605M28566SSC (Chrome)
(Rear) AR105M2166SSA (Anthracite Grey) AR105M2166SSB (Gloss Black) AR605M2166SSC (Chrome)
For the 20x8.5’s, the backspacing is 6.01 inches, and the offset is +32 millimeters.
For the 20x10’s, the backspacing is 6.84 inches, and the offset is +34 millimeters
The part number on the wheels ends in an SS. They were actually designed to fit the SS Camaro and their brakes. Its why they stick out just a tad on the Mustangs in the rear.

About the same is sticking out on both sides..
and yes the wheels could use some wider tires on the back. they almost look like they aren't wide enough.. lol
Heres the clearance. Way more than the Brembo wheels have.
