My friend just got a 2005 and he wants to change his rims. The dealer said there were only 4 different rims that would fit on the car. I was under the impression that 94+ rims would fit. I have a 95 so i have no idea. Can someone let me know.

Thanks

Depends on the rims he has, but I know Saleen makes two, 20 in and a 19in. (chrome and polished), the bullitt rims come in different colors, and then there are the stock ones. Thats all i've seen for now... i'm sure there are others out there

ROFLMAO!!!

Tire Rack lists 66, and that's by no means an all-inclusive list, just what they sell.

There are hundreds of rims out there for this car. But the 05's have a 45mm offset, so old rims (24mm?) will put the bulldawg look onto an 05.

I have the 20" Raceline GT wheels on my '05. They are incredible!

Exactly. Here are the "old" offset (+26mm) 18x9 rims, 255/45/18 all 'round:



"New" +49mm offset 18x8 front with 255/45/18, rears are +43mm offset 18x8.5 with 285/40/18's:

Hmmmmm
The old offset actually looks more muscular on the car......... thanks for posting pics. I'll have to keep that in mind.
