Default Will these fit my mustang?

i am looking to buy some new wheels for my car since i somehow scratched the crap out of them while cleaning.
i have an 01 convertible and most of the rims i have been looking at are not mustang specific like on americanmuscle.com or any site like that. im clueless about rims so i need some info. so will these fit?




Finish:BlackBolt
Pattern:5x114.3
Wheel Size:17x7
Offset:35

that is a very thin rim. Your tire choice is going to be pretty small. With a 7" rim your looking at like a 225 MAYBE a 245. If you have performance stuff on there and value traction i wouldnt go with such a thin rim.
