Okay, i need help. I'm one week from buying new rims in a week.. I still havemt decided on a rim yet.. i got my backspacing and offset down(+25front and +20back on the xxr and the rest are +24front and +25rear.).. and im going 17x9/10.5 on size. I just have 4 choices and don't know what to go with. The first two I really like and the xxr is different.. which is like.. I wish I could just afford ccw classics.. but I cant find a decent set...

Go 18s and either the 526's or the cobra Rs. Either rim will look sick

I had another idea.. I have 17x9 saleens.. would a 18x10 on the back look okay with the 17x9 upfront? Just an idea.. So come on.. keep those suggestions comming.

I believe the Mustang always sports a "5 spoke" wheel. An FR500 qualifies...

Anything else is rice.

Do 19s in the back and 18s in the front. 17s are just too small

Click to expand...

Now you're really talking rice or ghetto... 18x9 in front and 18x10.5 in back. Anything bigger and you just might be a red neck... (I know you thought I was going to say something else...)

There's a picture of a car that's silver with red flames on the front end and pretty sure he's either got 20s or 19s in the back and the car looks sick! It's in the picture thread in the 4.6 talk section.

Thanks guys... I wanted to try a different route. Had never seen xxr rims on mustangs.. I feel in love with the ccw classic wheels and want a set but can't find any.. I don't think anything but a five spoke is rice... It's all in the style! Thanks very much for all the opinions!

Just please atleast get 18s lol. I hate when people spend good money on rims and get 17s, that's Wat most come with from the factory and I feel like they aren't even worth getting. If ya kno Wat I mean
