New Stangs need smaller offset for wheel?

[Mr_Q]

So to get a nice 18x8.5 for front and 18x9.5 for rear we need to look for smaller offsets to keep it flush? Unlike the older cars where you'd go higher?

New cars +20 or +25
Old Cars +40 +45

Nope just the opposite.

The pre 05 had a +24mm offset
The new ones are +35 with a 9 inch rim and +45 with a 10 inch rim…

Your wheels look sweet. Some of the best fitting deep dish bullets I have seen. Where did you get them from and what size tires are you running? I am looking for a set but in silver.

Looks like they have the silver ones also.

Im running
18*9 in front with +35mm offset and 265 35 18 bfgoodrich kdw2's
18*10 deepdish in back with +45mm offset with 295 35 18 bfgoodrick kdw2's

Thanks for the compliment...
