Was just wondering, would these fit on the MM? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TWO-Chrome-WHEELS-RIMS-18X9-Ford-MUSTANG-COBRA-03-SVT_W0QQitemZ200212849573QQcmd ZViewItem

In general, would any Cobra/Mustang rim fit on the lugs?

I know cobra R's do, its just that you have to find the rim with the right off set.

I dont know if these would fit, might need spacers, but they would look really nice!

Yes, they are all 5 on 4.5" (except Fox body and older). Problem is with this offset (26mm... I think it's supposed to be 29mm), the rim will stick out 1.5" more than stock.

Definitely no need for spacers as they will stick out an extra 1.5".

Thanks red. I wonder how wide I'll be able to go since they're 18's, as long as I would keep a low aspect ratio I should be able to run at least 285's right? If I got the '03 17's, I could probably keep a decent size aspect ratio, and keep a wide tire outback as well.

Depends. If you have a taller and softer sidewall, you might be able to run 285s. With a shorter and stiffer sidewall (say 20 series), you might pop the bead. 275 is usually recommended max width for 9". It's not to say that people don't run them wider.

Reason I avoided these is that your centerline hangs way out. Your best bet is to find a wheel combination with 8" width fronts and 9.5" in the rear (which will allow for 295s). Keep in mind your wheel offsets and the ABS/TC issues when considering tire selections.

Jarod, you'll need to find the newer mustang rims...05+ have the 50mm offset (i believe)....the 93-04 stangs have a 24? mm offset...which just happens to fit a ranger.

buy the shelby wheels from adam.....do it.....

Thanks again red. Aaron I talked to him last night, I wanted the rears, unfortunately someone beat me to it I guess.
