well guys i figure people should know i got the silvers.. totally happy with the decision. theres pretty much NO way the black wheels would look this good. recently i took a trip from cleveland to louisville to go pick the car up, and my friend took a bunch of trendy instagram photos, so i figured i'd post em. enjoy!

With that fitment.. do you get any rubbing at all during "bounces" on the road? Looks like the lip of the wheel well will hit the top edge of the tread (cuttting it). Seen a volvo with chew marks like that and I dont recall you rolling your fenders.

Having asked that question though.. they look damn fine! Nice and beefy.. a bit more than what I am trying to get though.. lol. I have had problems in the past with too large of tires on the front.. I want to go smaller even if it foresakes some of the look.

thanks yall!

wheels are 17x9 and 17x10 +25. tires are 235/45 and 255/40.. im pretty sure about the sidewalls, but not certain. i was really worried about the stretch in the rear, but it's not drastic at all.. just enough to tuck the tire profile back into the wheel well so the wheels look like they fit haha

the fronts were rubbing pretty bad, but all i had to do was hammer in the little pan head screws that hold the inner fender lining to the wheel arches a bit.. not enough to crack paint, no rolling was required either. NO issues now, daily driven for almost a year like this. The rears never rubbed, probably because of the 255's and the fact that my eibach/ tokiko setup didnt really slam the rear. i really love the fitment/ stance the wheels give the car. I was also worried the 17x10 +25's would stick out too far, but i think theyre about perfect :)

edit: i would positively NOT go with the 10.5" +27 offset deep dish mustang replica wheels. Having fitted these 10's on my car, the 10.5's would look really stupid. i couldn't find much info about mustang replica wheel fitment when i was researching getting these, so be warned- deep dish 10.5's will look STUPID!
