Wheels question....
 
I'm not too familiar with offset and bolt pattern and all that other Wheels stuff. This will be the first time i'm buying different rims then the stock ones. This is the info i could get from the seller:

They are STERN 3-piece wheels.
17x8 front with 32offset
17x9 rear with 35offset
Centerbore is 2 7/8,
Bolt patter is 5 by 4.5 inches spacing.

I know they were on the old Saleen mustang and I know some of the rims from mustang fit fd's

So if anyone is 100% sure please let me know as soon as you can.

Thanks a lot guys.

Won't fit.

because?

Offset is too low. FYI, +50 is the offset for stock FD wheels.

Thanks a lot.

What else do i need to know when shopping for wheels?

Offset has to be +45 or more.
Bolt pattern 5x114.3mm?
Size i want is 17x8 or 17x9

What else?

The offset doesn't necessarily have to be +45 or more. "ptrhahn" and I both have 17x8.5 Fikse wheels w/ +37 up front and no rubbing. With a narrower width (8", 8.5") it's OK, but should you go wider (8.5"+), you'll need a higher offset.

Bolt pattern is correct, and the sizes you picked are fine.

well what's the lowest i can go if i just want 17x8 or 18x8
