Just like subject says... I'm looking at some mustang rims that are 18x8.5" will they fit? Offset 40

Are they the bullet's? I have a set of bullet's that are 18x8.5 . . Can't remember the offset though,think they're from an 06 .the front clear with no problems. The rear's come very close to the trailing arms but DON'T rub. they do ,however,rub on the caliper bracket,i had to grind down the bracket a bit with a dremel to create some clearance. nothing major but they will scrape some without it

Yup they are, thats interesting, i guess I will look into them then. Do you have any pics of them on your ride?

I do but not on my camera, i'll try and get em soon though. They look great man! not ridin em yet,waitin to get good summer tires. honestly, if you've got a dremel tool, it doesn't take much work to create the clearance. keep in mind they are heavy wheels though

My MSR's are 20"x8.5" with a 40mm offset and they fit great.

Fender rolling recommended with that kinda diameter though...

They will fit. Widest that would fit is a 9". Fender rolling may be needed if lowered.

Bought my bullet's off a guy who had them on his 99 gtp and he had no problems, so there must be some difference with the 04+ cars that changes the clearance specs

40mm offset shouldn't hit the caliper bracket.

I'm running 8.5" and 32mm, I have to roll my fenders flat LOL

There should be no difference in getting them to fit on an 04+. The offset's for the 97+ are all about the same. Again some slight fender rolling may be needed. I myself use a +35 offset with an 8" wheel.

exactly. He's asking about the 05-08 mustang bullit wheel's. 18x8.5 50mm offset. So yeah makes sense that they would rub. Unless we're talking bullit replicas in which case the offset could be different. But specs for the 05-08 mustang bullit wheels are either 45+mm or 50mm.
Ryanexpress- i would verify the offset and if these are Ford mustang wheel's or aftermarket replicas

Yes they are FORD rims, not replicas.... But I can't get a hold of the guy now. So all of this might be for nothing lol

Rub what? The fender on 50mm offset? No, that pushes the wheel in away from the fender. Caliper rubbing seems odd too, cause our stock wheels are 52-54mm or something like that.

Drunkie-they rub on the caliper BRACKET, not the actual caliper. It may just be the countour of the wheel since only the very center of the spokes rub on the bracket and once they space out they have plenty of clearance. i'll double check the offset when i put the on again.
