I typically see staggered fitment on stangs but wanted that 3.5" lip all the way around versus a small lip up front and a big lip out back. In that search I found this wheel and trusted the salesman they would work.
WELL .....they would work on a GT but with the damn cobra brakes I hit the caliper on the front wheel so I had to find spacers and play that game. The back was no issue but I did put spacers there.
So thats issue #1 completed and fixed. Including a little sanding/shaving of the stock caliper that will be fixed and contoured when painted.
Issue #2 was I ordered 265/35/18's for the rear since they were a cheap tire. I wanted 295 out back. SOOOO .....I get the wheels and they are 245/40/18 front 245/35/18 out back.
For the price I paid for these I cant complain I suppose but I would have liked them to just bolt up easily. OH WELL. I love em and i did get that lip all around.

Whoa. That rear tire size is scaring me. That is way too small.
