Go to Ford Racing's website and you'll find your answer.

Ford Racing doesn't have any FR500's for the '05.
The ones made by WheelReplicas that MustangTuning, Partshopper, & MRT (& a couple of others) sell have a +36mm offset.

And they are 18x9's.
There aren't any 17" FR500's.

MRT also has the 17X9's, I was there last week, they had them in stock. But they dont list them on the website for some reason.

My father in law picked up a set of 17X9s + 17X10.5s for is 99GT, Black with deep dish polished lit in the back, man do they look sweet.

As of right now, they do not make 18X10.5s for the 05. I'm on the waiting list, should be about 2 months.

I thought we were talking about '05 wheels.
The 17's are for pre-'05 cars.

Sorry for the confusion. They do have 17s and 18s for the 05's. They are a 38mm offset.

Unfortunatly the do not have 10.5s for the rears made up yet. So we're stuck with 9s as of right now.

I just thought I would mention that my father in law just got a set...but you are correct, the offset is totally different.!

Go to Ford Racing's site, right there in the 18" wheel section at the bottom----M-1007-1810 but a little pricey at $1219

Sorry. I still don't see any 17" FR500's for any year and no FR500's at all for the '05 on the Ford Racing site. All I see for the FR500's is 18x9 and those are for pre-'05 cars.
Maybe someone could post a link to the 17" FR500's or the '05 FR500's from Ford Racing.

EDIT: I see the wheels, D is talking about... The FR500-C's. Didn't realize they were offering those, but I think Roger was talking about the regular FR500's. ??

Those don't look like Ford Racing FR500's since they don't have the Ford Racing logo in the lip.
They look like FR500 replicas made by WheelReplicas and they are for pre-05 cars. They have a +24mm offset so if you're putting them on a 1970 Mustang, you might not need spacers.

Like I said, Ford Racing does not offer 17" FR500's at all or any of the regular FR500's for the '05.

Also, MRT does NOT have 17" FR500's (replica or otherwise) for the '05. (no one does) They have 18x9 FR500 replicas for the '05 but they only have a +36mm offset.
