Which do you think will look better on a Windveil Blue 07 Mustang GT? Wheels will be 18x8.5 and 18x9.5. front offset will be 35 and rear will either be 35 or 40. Which offset would be better for the rear, the 35 or the 40?

Z-8 Wheel


Z-1 Wheel

I like the z8's. If went with the other you'd have to upgrade the look of your rotors and calipers for certain! Because you'd have a lot more rotor than wheel.

I'm leaning toward the Z8's also because I have not seen them on a Stang before and it would make it a little more unique.

I agree, the Z1's would almost require you to paint your calipers, etc. I would go with the Z8's!

Not too sure about the Offset...

The z8's are only offered in the 35 offset but the z1 are offered in the 35 and 40 offsets so that will make that decision easier also . I just so excited. I haven't bought a car I really wanted since I got my 89 Mustang after highschool. Feel like a kid again. I have modded the 89 so much that it is not practical to drive very far since it is tuned to run on 100 octane. I look forward to having a car that I can drive anywhere, and with A/C.
