Alright so I love my fanblades but I've been wanting to black out my car for a while now. I've been looking around for the best prices for rims and so far AM have been looking pretty good. Then i found some on eBay (black saleen rims 18x9) with tires for only $750 plus shipping. Problem is that it says it fits 1994-2004. Now I've seen on AM some rims say 94-05+ fitment So i got a little confused.

So after all that being said I guess my question is, does this apply to all rims or just a certain few? If not, can you explain to me why? Why are some 94-05+ and then just some 94-04 and others 05+.

Does that make sense?

Before buying or bidding on eBay, I would check to make sure they fit your car. I'm not positive, but I think the 05's are different from the 94 - 04 wheels, Mike. SCT Tuner.

I have a 200 mph bbk cluster its the real thing but i cant find it anywhere. Bbk stoped making them about five years ago. I was going to put it in my 87 lx mustang but then just recent got an 89 gt. So i was going to save the cluster for that. But i want to know is how much is my cluster worth. I was told i can sell it on ebay for like 300 but not sure anyhow if someone can tell me that would be great and if not thanks for reading.

i've never seen a 94-10 wheel
94-04 wheels are interchangable but since the s197 is wider, it has a different offset. they will not fit your car

Welcome to the site, but you will find better answers to your question if you post in the correct section and start your own thread.

They will fit, but the difference is in the offset. I believe the 04 wheels will stick out further then the wheel wells, so if you don't mind the appearance, go for it.

It only applies to a certain few. When you look at a set of rims there are 4 things you need to keep in mind.

1) the overall height of the rim, In this case your looking at 18".
2) the width of the rim, in this case you are looking at 9"
3) the bolt pattern. the rim needs to be made to fit your axle.
4) the offset/backspacing. Sometimes referred to as ET. This is used to determine how far off the axle the rim is going to sit.

1 and 2 need to mach up to the tires, and 3 and 4 need to match up the the car (and you need to take the tires into consideration. 3 is no problem the 04 and 05 mustangs use the same bolt pattern but in your case its 4 thats going run you the most risk of not working.

The stock rims/tires on our v6 cars is usually 16x7et39 with 215/65-16 tires. The 94-04 saleen had 18x9et24 rims with 265/35-18 tires (based on what I could find on ebay)

so if we go to my favote tire website and plug in that info we get this...

Keep in mind, the mounting pad is going to be in the same spot, so your car would sit lower to the ground, there will be more open space above the tire in the wheel well and everything is going to stick out a bit farhter (so there could be rubbing while turning)

Sixers is right. The 94-04 wheels have a different offset from the 05-10 wheels. They will fit, but they will stick out a bit more than the 05-10 wheels will.

It's effectively the same look as if you put 05-10 wheels on with wheel spacers to make them stick out.

it's funny that you say that. i work at discount tire and get a monster discount on wheels, tires, and a few other things. i'm getting some of the carroll shelby wheels which AM carries as well. I called to get my pricing (direct pricing from shelby wheel co. + 10%) and then price checked it with AM. the difference was only $5 a wheel on the front and $12 a wheel on the rear.
