Not the best pics. I will try and find better ones. The CV has the OEM Mustang Cobra. The MM has OEM Marauder with powder coat.

The OEM 03-04 Cobra rims won't fit the Marauder since the offset different.

its my girlfriends Red MACh1... ill tell her you said it looks good.

as for the MM.... some a-holes that wrecked it and then had those rims put on it due to cost of actual MM rims.

You'll need spacers for them to clear with pre '05 'Stang rims.

I really like that look. Those are 18's right? What are the sizes and backspacing?

Thanks.

They are actually 20's. Traded the member "Grifter" for my oem wheels. They are 20x8.5 in front, +38mm offset & 20x10 in rear,+50 mm offset. I love them too and pics just dont do them justice. I regained the interest that i was loosing for the MM when i put these on.:D

Thanks for the info. One of the local MM.net members is considering this set up.

It looks great, especially those dishes rear wheels.

When my Nittos wear out, I'll be tempted to step up to 20s.

Won't the lower offset just make them stick out more?

Just wondering... what's the clearance issue?

Does anyone know the negative effects of having 20's on our cars, because those look soooo good!

i can only see ride quality getting worse since there would be less sidewall on the tire

With Chicago's pot hole problems I don't know if these 20's will hold up. I also wonder will it damage any suspension parts and can you lose HP performance? Damn... they look sooooo good!

Yup. The outside of the rims will extend past the side of the car.

1 coil cut from the front and slightly lowered via air suspension in rear.

yes you can tell they are there, and i wouldnt hit any big potholes as the fronts have a small sidewall (255/35), but i wouldnt do that with the stockers either. The back is fine , the sidewalls are pretty thick (275/40). These are the same overall diameter as the stockers, so the gear ratio stays the same. As for performance, i cant tell any difference, the weight of the wheels when shipped were almost the same. My stock rear wheel w/ a 255/55/18 Nitto 420s was 58lbs, the rear wheel on this setup was 61lbs. Ride quality was not effected that much, she does handle better though:D
