I believe I've heard that the 2005's have a different offset from previous models. Your FR500 Anthrite wheels are on my go-list if they will fit. Under the description of them it says up to '04. This only confirms my suspicions...so what's up, do they fit or do they not?

 

they new mustangs have a different offset. the old rims will rub the fenders i think

 

so what're my options if i want the deep-dish fr500 drk greys. I see black fr500's in the 2005 section. any sites with some wheels will help.

 

pm mtshambles and see when they'll be getting them. i have the chromies on my 96 cobra

 

I want 18 inch chrome FR500s for my wife's Roush. Ford said they won't work due to the off set. I was told just wait they'll be coming! Bummer!!!

I think the offset is kinda strange on the 2005's, I dont see how in the hell they will ever get 315's tucked under that rear fender.

 

Yeah, the factory ofset is 45mm, the FR500's listed in Black are showing a 36mm offset. Depending on the wheel design some have gone as far as a 25mm offset and the tires still tucked into the body. Myself, I am looking for the FR500 in black, 18 x 9 front and 18 x 10 rear. I plan on running 295's in the rear and 275's up front.

 

Bump! :blob5:
