18 inch Saleen wheels?

[kcobra]

I hear that the 05-09 mustang wheels fit on the SHO? Would the 18X9 Saleen rims for 05-09 fit? I'm looking to install some for the winter with winter tires and think these would look great.

They should... only issue might be clearance on the brake calipers. Do you know what the offset is? Likely is cast into the back face of the wheel somewhere. Also, I would check hub diameter and get some hub rings. Makes for an easier mount. Fit is less dependent on lug tightening.

I am running 18" x 8" on my Flex (same basic suspension) and with 255-45 on front, with 40 offset wheels, I have about 3/4" clearance between the tire and the strut tower. Here is a great wheel/tire offset calculator that will help you.

They are 30mm offset. You think this would work?

They should work fine, but will stick out slightly further than stock. I just ordered some 18x9 32 offset to install Nitto Drag slicks on.
