"04" model rims on an 05?
im trying to buy some rims off ebay and the guy says they only fit 05+ mustangs... but i think he's just trying to make some extra money since he's trying to sell "05+" rims for twice the price. it says the wheel offset is 24mm, the backspacing is 5.95 inches and the bolt pattern is "5x4.5 or 5x114.3" theyre 18x9 which i know will fit for sure... can i buy these "2004" rims?

They will fit but the offset is way wrong and they won't look right.

If he says that they're for a 94-04, you're better off believing him. Putting rims meant for a 94-04 on an '05? You'll have turning issues, handling issues, the rims will sit funny and look, um. Not nice. The offset and backspacing are completely different on an 05+. ~Emilie

If you put 04-prior wheels on an 05+ car the tires will stick about 3 inches outside the wheel wells.
