The price on these is hard to beat. The V45 wheels I want are twice as much money and not too different. What to do about spacers though? Would bolt on spacers be better or extra long wheel studs and then an aluminum spacer?

i wouldnt reccomend a spacer, but others may differ

05 wheels are only 5.29" BS so you are talking about .50" more than recommended.

that page says 6.295" backspacing?

Maybe it's just me, but those are pretty much visually equivalent to the '01-'04 Bullitt wheels, which are also cheap and had better stock backspacing of 5.72". You can get spacers to fit the Bullitts from just about any Mustang parts supplier now.

you gotta look at the offset as well

For the same part number Summit Lists 5.295" BS. I know people have been putting them on classics w/o spacers or adapters. If they were 6.295" that wouldn't be possible without some big adapters.
