I just bought a 05 V-6 Mustang convertible premium only have a 100 miles on the car I want new wheels for the car but dont have want to have to buy tires also. So im looking for a 16x7 wheel. I need to know the backspacing of the stock wheels and the offset if someone could help me with that i would appreiciate it very much. I'm also looking for a wheel with the cragar ss look if anyone knows of a tire with that look in a 16x7 that would fit my mustang please let me know. Thanks in advance for your help!

you can buy new cragar SS wheels. the stock offset is +45mm. an american racing torque thrust II is also similar to the cragars.

The offset is 45mm for the 17 inch rims. Its 39mm for the 16 inch rims.

I bought the same car, wanted the same wheel, about a year ago. I eventually bought 17" Ford Racing polished bullitt wheels - a polished version of the GT wheels - on ebay. I think I paid about six hundred bucks.

I got a set of 17" tires on eBay as well. I think it rides better with the 17' wheels.
