so I've been dying to get those Racing Hart CX wheels for my 05, my local dealer can get them for me, but he told me the japanese guys told him they don't fit the mustang? I checked several websites like WheelsNEXT.com Premier Dealer for Wheels and Rims and the website states they DO fit the mustang, How can I know myself that they do?? if i have this info:
FRONT: 19 X 8.5 inch 4/5 x 114.3 +38 offset REAR: 19 X 10 inch 4/5 x 114.3 +44 offset
can I know they fit or not??
many thanks.

I'd call the premier tire place and get them to give you a guarantee in writing or something that indeed the wheels fit the vehicle. Ask the if it's possible to send you 1 wheel to try the fit. I've called Cragar on fitment because there's other companies out there copying whees that DON'T fit properly. good luck anywho!!
yeah that's what my local shop did, they called the japs and they told him they don't. but how come a lot of websites say they do? are they replicating them or something?

That's a possibility w/ anything these days. I know one plcae that's not selling so called Cragar's after I questioned Cragar directly about them. Cragar told me that they haven't made a wheel yet for the '05 GT. This was last year.
Fromthe specs you give, the offsets seem to be for a SN-95 Mustang (pre 2005), not the current S197. The 10" might fit the rear, but not well; the 8.5" won't fit the front.

Strange, I have been driving on my Cragars for about 6 weeks now.
have any of your tried americanmuscle.com they specificaly make rims for the 2005+ mustang the 2004- wont fit do to they will hit the brakes. the offset is different also i would go with the 18 by 9 front and 18 by 10 back they came out really good on my car. i bought them in black asnd painted my calibers red. get alot of compliments. the back rim is a deep dish.also th site used to be called mustangtunning.com. free shipping.
