    I dont know hardly know enough about wheels & Backspacing to just buy them on my own... They're Torque Thrust II 17x9.5" with 6.5" backspacing... Would they work!? If not, whats the biggest Torque Thrust II I can get on the back of the Mav? :)

    I ran 17x9 with a 1" spacer in the front, and a 1.25" spacer in the rear. My wheels had a standard 94-04 mustang offset, can't rmember exactly what it was but i'm sure u can look it up. hope this helps lil buddy

    Is the wheel going to tuck in the wheelwell? 17x9 would be the widest I would go and feel comfortable with it not rubbing. I'd roll the 1/4's as well.

    17x8 4 in BS
