These are some Mustange wheels advertised on ebay. Does anyone know if they will fit a MM or can be modified to fit?

SVT Bullitt wheels

I think the offset is too low for a MM. MMs have an offset in the high 30s or low 40s I think. Plus the wheels being an inch wider with the offset would make the wheels stick out way too much.

If I measured correctly, 10mm is 0.3937 of an inch. So if the MM offset is around 45, then these rims would stick out about an inch from the fender.

It would look something like the One Lap of America CV before modifications.

The offset needs to be 45 to fit the Marauder.
Our wheels are also 18x8.

NOPE, They won't work....Marauder OEM wheels are 18 x 8 inch with a +50mm Offset.
As stated above^^ +45mm Offset 18 x 8 wheels will also work.

Are you sure about the 50mm offset ?
My wheels are stamped with a 45 on them...

That is interesting....My OEM rims are stamped 18 x 8 J50....which I assume means +50mm offset.
I've measured my OEM rims to confirm the +50mm offset and it is correct:
I have 6-1/2" backspacing (inside rim edge to mounting pad)
The centerline of the rim is 4-1/2" in from the rim edges (8" rim is measured at the bead, 8" rim is 9" overall width to rim edges; 1/2 of 9" = 4-1/2" centerline)
6-1/2" backspacing - 4-1/2" centerline = +2" offset
2" x 25.4mm/in = 50.8mm positive offset

BTW: The TIRE RACK has our OEM rims in their database as 18 x 8.5"
I've never heard of a Maruder with a 8-1/2" OEM rim!?!???

2" x 2.54mm/in = 50.8mm positive offset

You must have meant 25.4mm since 2.54 is Centimeters.

I looked again at my wheel and I see the J50 you are referring to.
Someone on this site posted that the J## was the Manufacturer number
and did not mean anything else, but since you've calculated the offset
then it must be correct.

There is another number on the side of the same spoke that starts with 045 xxxx on my wheel.
I assumed that 045 was the offset. Now it looks like a serial or date number.

So then we *Officially* know that we have a +50mm offset !

Yep, You are right....I meant 25.4mm/in. I hit my decimal point too soon!

I've corrected my previous post.

These would go well with MMs that are S/C'd.
