Im looking to get a set of 5zigen FN01R-C lightweight wheels

I want 17x10 in the rear -- they offer a +12 and +25 offsets, +12(about 6" BS)

and +25(about 6.5" BS) -- which one would fit/ look better in the rear?

For the front its either 17x8 or 17x9 --

For 17x8 -- they offer +25( 5.5" BS) and +35( about 5.8"BS)

For 17x9 -- they offer +15( about 5.6-7" BS) and +35( about 6.5"BS)


i have 17x9 03-04 cobras now and the rims rubs the control arms at full lock, how can this be fixed? or just go with the 17x8s?

here is the website with the wheels:
5ZIGEN USA official website

Thanks for the help guys

to solve the rubbing problem....you can add limiters to the rack or go with tubular A-arms

Since those are all 5 lug wheels, which 5 lug conversion do you have on the front and on the back of your car.

03-04 Cobra wheels are 17X9 with a +27mm offset. Those sit in farther than ANY other 5 lug 17x9" wheel, because all others have a +24mm offset.

If you don't want the front ones to rub and you have Mark VII rotors, or SN95 spindles, I would get the 17X8 wheel with the +25mm offset.

If you have stock Ranger Axles for the back I would get either the 17X10" wheel with the +12mm offset. Or get the 17X9 with the +15mm offset.

IF you have SN95 axles from a 94-98 Mustang, then you could get either the 17X10 with a +25mm offset or the 17X9 with a +35mm offset.

Remember....the bigger the +XXmm offset number is, the further inward the wheel will sit and the more chances you have that it will rub on the suspension and frame.

Honestly, those offsets are something that I have never seen before on any aftermarket Mustang wheel. I am confident with the information I gave you, but I would just go with a regular Mustang wheel from Mustang Parts & Performance - American Muscle

Thanks

I have the Mark VII rotors right now but plan on installing SN95 spindles very soon, as for the rear i have some moser 31 splines for a 79-93.

Im just trying to go with something different b/c I keep seeing the same wheels on every other mustang
