But I don't know the limits for the 99-04 Mustang (Dont know if Offset limits will be same for 94+) I was considering getting a set of 17x7.5 (i'm more of a corner carver than drag racer) so they could mount on my 245/45/17s but the offset is in the low +40's. My current wheels are the bullitts. My question is<br /><br />1) Will there be any complications with mounting a 245/45 on a 17x7.5<br /><br />2) What will be the result if I mount the wheels and tires on my car (2004 mustang gt) considering the offset is high<br /><br />3) What offset range should I be looking for wheels in (+23 to +30 or what, etc.) <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>BlackDrop50</b> <br /><small>Member # 1715</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,11,16,0,12,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> You can run a 245 on a 17x7.5<br /><br />Why a 7.5" rim and not a 9"? Wider is better especially in corner carving.
