I have my eye on this set of wheels, the place selling them claims they will fit the 05-10 mustang and even claims that they will clear the Brembo calipers, they are 20X8.5 in front and 20 X 10.5 in the rear, the offset seems pretty aggressivfe to me and I am a little worried they will stick out the fender wells like a g-ride or something. I am pretty low and want to run a decent size tire so if they stick out too much I don't want them.

Here are the specs, remember 20 X 10.5" rear!

Size: 2 Front Rims are 20X8.5 with +32 offset

Size: 2 Rear Rims are 20x10.5 with +30 offset

Asking the experts, how much can I expect the rear to stick out?

No expert but I believe the fronts will space out almost identical to the stockers but the rears will stick out 1.09" further.

07-09 stockers (9.5" div x 2) - 45mm (1.77") = reference of 2.98" from rotor

20x8.5 front (8.5" div x 2) - 32mm (1.26") = 2.99" from rotor

20x10.5 rear (10.5" div x 2) - 30mm (1.18") = 4.07" from rotor

Hope this helps

Thanks, I actually stumbled upon a calculator online and came up with the same thing. 1 inch further out in the rear, I am afraid will be too much to fit a 305/35 DR under the car, damn, cause I bet the front is right on and will clear the Brembos just like they claim.

I think these would stick out even more than the Super Snake wheels, a nogo I am afraid.

A 10.5" rear wheel should have between a 52-57mm offset to fit/look right and be able to still put a fat tire on it without it going past the fender.
