I think the offsets are all wrong, if I remember correctly Mustangs are in the low 40mm offsets. Also you don't want to do a 8.5" wide rim on the front as this would limit what size tire you can run on the front on a front heavy Mustang. I wouldn't run anything less than a 9" front wheel, preferrably a 9.5" front wheel.

BTW here's some pics of my stang.

 

Ok I see they have a 19x9.5 with a 41mm offset and 20x10 with a 40mm offset. And what tire size should I use?? 275/40/19 for the front and what for the rear?? Would like to be bigger in the rear.

 

Where did you get the black 5.0 badge?

 

8.5 is fine up front. Non brembo cars with 19's come with 8.5's all around. I did 8.5's up front and 9.5's out back with a 245/45 in the front and a 275/40 in the rear which equates to the exact same sidewall height front and rear.

 

On ebay from blue oval.

 

I know..I think those are to narrow for a 3600lb+ car with a 56/44 weight distribution. If you want to stay stock..great, but if you are going aftermarket why not go wider?

Get the 20"x9.5" with 45mm of offset for the front and the 20"x10.5" with 63mm of offset for the rear. The fronts weigh 24 lbs and the rears weigh 25 lbs.

 

Been talking to a few folks and I think I'm just gonna go with the 19x9.5 41mm offset all around with 275/40/19 tires just like the guys running the RTRs but this should be a bit better cause of the offset not being low like the RTRs.

 

I like that black 5.0 badge that's freaking slick, I wish I had the ***** to do that, but I don't, I'd be too worried I'd screw it up.

 

Trust I was scared to put it on as well. It's prob a lil off but whatever I tried my best and it doesn't look to bad.

 

It looks like yours was a CS, so you didn't have to take the emblem off? That's the part I'd be most worried about... If you did have to take your old ones off how did that go?

Also if it is crooked I can't tell, it looks great.

 

Those wheels are nice (tsw). Wonder if they will clear brembo brake cars.

 

You're right I didn't have an emblem to remove but I removed the stripe. My fear was putting the badges on crooked or not having them even on bothe side which they prob not exact.

 

Yup they clear Brembos.

 

Will the 18"ers clear the brembos?

 

what tint % did you get? i like

 

5% limo tint and I love it.

 

Careful with TSW's if your area has bad roads... in the "honda" world... TSW has grown the reputation of "the soft wheel"

Beautiful designs... I'd just be a bit weary.
