I have a 2000 mustang with the stock wheels on it...Im looking into getting rims now and i was wondering do i have to get rims with the exact 24mm offset that my wheels are now???? thank you

 

no you dont, but I wouldnt go above a 17 or 18" at the most

 

Yea im going with the stock 15x7 because my tires are new. What offsets can i go with???

 

You are replacing 15inch wheels, with 15inch wheels? This is a "while you're in there" type of thing to a point.

for around $1200 you can have 17x9 and 17x10.5 wheels with tires and thats if you buy new.

You get get this for less if you shop around for a while.

 

yes i understand that but i am in college so money indeed is an issue and i have about half of that to spend. Thanks though.

 

Ok go to a junk yard if your getting new wheels of that size, I dont see this as a real upgrade or try craigslist

 

Look online, you can find some used ones that are nice for 6-800, granted the tires are used and you will ahve to deal with some scratches. I found a set of mach 1 rims for 670 when i was looking for rims, they just werent what I was going for.
I spent around 900 for rims and tires on mine ( not my sig, just like the black ones in the pic thread, different manufacturer though). And I am in college too and have a very limited schedule thanks to being a biochem major in track, throw a kegger and make $100 on a 40 person party
