Evening everyone. This is new territory for me as I know virtually nothing about rim/tire specifications or performance. The Mustang in question will be a stock 2007 (planned purchase spring 2007).
The rims in question are Foose Nitrous Chrome 18x8 offset RWD. The site I'm using since I don't know any other site (I goggled this) is Discounted Wheel Warehouse. The rims come with a tire pack, for $100 more I get 4 Nitto 404 255/55/18 wheels. Total price is right around $2,000. Here are the questions:
1.) The "8" in the rim dimension, is this a suitable size? I don't plan on taking it to the strip or racing, mostly highway driving.
2.) What does the offset RWD mean, and is that what I need for the Mustang since they are RWD?
3.) I'm totally inept when it comes to tires. I know what the dimensions pertain to, but I do not know if this is a good quality tire or a good size - opinions?
4.) Is the price right? If anyone has any credible sites to purchase these rims with a tire combo, could you please PM the address?
5.) Since i'm buying my rims and wheels seperate from the dealership, do I need to buy 18'' wheels from the dealership so future 18'' wheels will fit, or just go ahead with the standard 17'' wheels and have them just put the 18'' wheels on at the shop (was always unsure how this worked)?
Sorry for the barrage of questions, or if these questions were answered elsewhere in the forum - I always try and use the search feature but it was timing out for me tonight.
