yes the rims will fit and look damn good! just remember when getting the 18x10 in the rear you will need big tires which are damn expensive...you could go the route i did and do 18x9 all around and have the same size tire and be able to rotate the tires so they last longer

does anybody know if 18x10 rims with a +20 offset will work for all 4 tires on an 05 v6? im guessing they won't work in front because of turning issues... if they do work i'd go with 225/40/18 tires.

or would i be better off with some other rims... 18x9 up front (5.95 backspace +24 offset) and 18x10 in back (6.4 backspace +22 offset)? theres so many choices its hard to choose

18x10's will not work up front but will out back...BUT 225 tires will not fit on either a 18x10 or 18x9...

for 18x9's the recommended size is 255-275

for 18x10's the recommended size is 285-315 (although u can fit 335)

Thanks Tclark... does the offset really matter all too much? or is there a range i should look for?

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 his 05+ rims are 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?
