Here's a picture of my car now with 2003 mustang gt wheels, 17x8 with I think 24mm offfset, my car is obviuosly now 5x4.5 hub. I'm looking into getting these wheels http://www.wheelreplicas.com/bullitt.htm In the 17x9's with 24mm offset. Now with the 17x8's the tires are just tucked into the tops of the fenderwells. My question is, if I get the wider wheel, will they stick out like and look like a mexican ride? My common sense is teling me that it will stick out an extra .5 of an inch, so am I right?

The 17x8 Mustang wheels are +30 offset.

If you get 17x9 at +24, they will be at the edge on the rear, and sticking out on the front. Typically people are getting +30 to +35 offset for 9" wheels going on MN-12 cars.

cheers,
