These are 17" 2007 Mustang GT wheels.
235/45/17 tires
I had to use a 1.5" spacer due to the offset.

I'll just throw in what I have on the car now. This is the best picture I have of them
I like wheels that have a black or gray center with a chrome lip. I used to be into all chrome but am not any more. I don't think I'll go above 17 but I don't want something so small that I can't fit upgraded brakes into them. I was thinking something along the lines of 99-04 GT wheels but I would like to do something different.

Here's my car from close to the same angle with the 99-04 GT (Bullitt) wheels and 1" spacers. 225/45R17 front, 235/45R17 back. You can look on my cardomain site for more pics.

I still need to make better center caps on the laser cutter and paint the centers black. "One of these days."

What size tires are you running? I have 235/40 in front and the bulge has disappeared on a 7.5" rim but if I go any wider there are no rear tires to match the height. As it is the fronts are already technically .1" taller than the rear.68efivert said:

You'll hardly find anything expensive on my car. Wheels were $520 a set shipped through eBay. These wheels are looked down upon in the ricer crowd because some kids think they need $2000 15lb. 18" wheels on their cars they drive to school and 7-11. Tires are used Dunlop run-flats and cost me $250 shipped for all four. I'm the ultimate in cheap when it comes to my '67. Someone else previously mentioned the whitewall look from that particular picture.Ron67fb: I like the look of what you have there. They look expensive

Ron67fb,
You using spacers on those? I'm having a hard time finding a set of wheels beyond the norm without going to spacers.

stang coupe)Yes, 1" all around. Without adapters the selections are very limited. Unless you want to spend $500 a wheel on custom offset units you either get TT look-alikes, or TT look-alikes with added curves and superfluous blingy stuff on it. I searched high and low for "alternative" wheels myself and decided adapters were the way to go. I've seen Trans Am cars at the historic races using 1.5" adapters behind their wheels so I don't doubt their strength. They're also commonly used in off-road trucks.
