Will these wheels fit?

Would these wheels fit my car (correct offset)? $300 shipped is kinda cheap isnt it? Do you think they would look goofy? My car pic is below. 90 TII.

whats the width?
n/m 17x7

5x114.3

yes, this will fit.

if not, a thin spacer will clear it. like 2-3mm

I think the pic is just representing the wheel style. Not the actual lug pattern. I will check to make sure. Anyhow, does everyone agree that a 17x7 +40mm offset will fit? Also, what tires would be the same as stock? I came up with either a 205/50-17, or a 225/45-17. Sound right? Thanks

(stock is 205/55-16)

The tires you mentioned are an inch shorter than my factory tires. Do you have any pictures of these on your car? Is your car lowered some? Thanks

I'd recommend going with a wider wheel. In using 7 inch wide wheels you're limiting yourself to 225's. That is the most you can fit in front practically anyway, but with a TII you may want to get wider rear tires. You can get stock mustang wheels that are 17x8 with a about a 30-32mm offset that fit perfectly and fit a 225/45/17 nicely with no rubbing, and the wheels can accomodate 245/40/17's. The stock mustang wheels are cheap, plentiful and strong, and the GT ones aren't too heavy.

Those wheels will fit fine, you can run 225/45/17's on them, but you may need a small spacer up front to keep them from rubbing on the suspension.
