F'ck yeh Post pics when you do ! I think the older year (99-04) rims look great they give it a real aggresive look to it from the rear ! The tire apears WIDER than they are.. my 285's look like 305's ! And the best part SHE"S NOT LOWERED YET ! LOL

i'm gunna have to. haha.

i love them too. because i don't really like the deep fish front and back look, i like with the staggered look. i don't think mine will look as good as yours because of a shorter rim, and also a shorter tire. but we shall see.

but this also means i could take my TMPS sensors out of my current wheels and still use the system.

+1 on using 99-04 wheels. I'm running 18x10 FR500s that are meant for the 99-04, with 285s, and it looks wide as hell in the back. Love it.

man. i wish i went with 18s when i bought my bullitts. i dont know how the 17s are going to look.

didnt get a chance to throw them on, work was throwing a party so to get in good with the bosses i stayed all day and night to set up and clean up etc. [hearing "man that kids got good work ethic, rest of the people here are lazy" is a very comforting thing to hear]

So did you install tires meant for a 99-04 also?
Did this throw off your speedo at all?

The tires you can run on any year ! Its the offset of the rim you have to watch out for ! Im running the Steeda Ultra lite springs that drop her an 1" all the way around.,. I have the H&R SS that drop it 2" all the way around sitting in my trunk awaiting install, but im worried I might rub being that low....And my speedo wasnt off by that much ! Id say mayby 2 miles if that ! None the less my tuner took care of that problem !

the reason the tire size was mentioned is that 05+ usually run a taller tire than previous stangs.

+1!!!!!
I would say, yes to them sticking out.
Looks like with those tires, you might get away with a 1" drop.
