GT500 Wheels

[Merc410]

Anyone know if GT500 wheels will fit or will they stick out in the front? Anyone seen this combo before?

I had recommended them previously here (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=43255). It's a good distribution of the extra width, but in the front, it could require spacers, which I'm not a fan of. They will definitely stick out more than stock wheels. For the rears, they're perfect from what I can tell. I have a similar distribution of the extra width on 9" wide rims for my track setup. You can see they stick out a little bit in the front, but I personally don't mind the look and they didn't require spacers.

Best fit for a Mustang
5.98" backspacing
24mm offset

You need 4.5 backspace and 50mm offset.

You need to look at wheels for 05+ Mustangs for the 2003+ Panthers.

The GT500 wheels are 18" x 9.5", with a 45 mm offset. Compared to stock, this extends a 0.5" more inward and 1" more outward.

Do you have more of a side shot with those rims?

They're not pretty wheels, but they were cheap and relatively light. I think the wheel was turned slightly left as can be seen in the above and below pictures:

Didn't say they were. I gave a picture to show how far out to the side they stick being an inch wider than stock (the thread author's concern). Someone asked for another picture with "more of a side shot", so that's what I provided. They're Enkei rims.

Ah, That's more what I was asking, guess I didn't word it right...

15 inchers??????? They look small in the wheel well.

The wheels are 17" x 9".

No problem. Figured I clarify that they are not the GT500 wheels.
