Hello,

I'm new here, but i've been reading these forums every time I've had questions about my stang...

I want to buy chrome Saleen wheels (the 99-04) for my 97 gt. I've seen replicas on eBay, but I don't know about fitment. I WANT THEM FLUSH WITH FENDERS...can somebody please help me on this??? What is the offset(front and rear) I need if they are 18x9 and 18X10? If someone has installed replicas, can u feedback?? What is the correct offset/backspace for the 94-98 mustangs??? Are they good wheels or should I just go with the Real ones (expensive!!)???

I could tell you, but this site has the best fitment specs on wheels.

www.americanmuscle.com

They have every style replica wheel. Every finish, 17" 18" and 20". They give you all specs.

Remember...the larger the number the further inward the wheel sits. EX: 94-04 17X8 wheels have a +30mm offset. 05+ 17X8 wheels have a +45mm offset. So.....putting the 05+ wheels on a 94-04 car....they will sit inward more.

Kapeesh???
