Sounds like they're meant for a FWD car.

They would fit but they would stick inside the fenders quite a bit. A stock GT wheel is 17x8 inches with about a 26-28mm offset. Hope that helps.

Don't get those man, there WAY to thin and would probably look funny on a stang. Oh, but it's your car so, do what makes you happy, other people opinion shouldn't effect your choice if you've already got you mind set

Yea, there you go, those look way better. You'd be train tracking with those 7" spinners.

Those bottom ones are only $180/per wheel for 18x9 polsihed. Are the polished wheels nice and shiny or are they dull? Because the chrome ones are $319/ per wheel. So should i go with the polished ones or chrome?

Polished wheels are shiny, just not the mirror finish that chrome has. Polished wheels require the most up-keep of any finish, so if you dont mind some elbow grease to keep em looking good then I would save your $140 per wheel and go polished. Plus that's almost $600 bucks you can put towards something else.

Go on Ebay and look up AFS Wheels. You can get a better deal than that. Chrome for cheaper than those polished.

I was checking their site again and they have a sale on all chrome wheels. The 18 inch wheels are $799. Pretty good price for chromes. http://www.eaglewheels.com/
