Question Is a 32mm offset OK on front 2005 GT wheels ?

Hello wheel specialists

I plan to buy a 2007 GT with Ford Racing replica wheels (Eleanor style) with the following specificatios:
20 inch
8.5" wide
offset 32mm

Is the offset OK for the steering geometry and won't there be any rubbing ?
The car is lowered 1,5" and I plan to have 255/35/20 on 4 corners.

Thanks for your help

Francois

No they need to be 38mm. If you go to AmericanMuscle one of our site sponsors and look in the wheel section you will see different wheels and 20X8.5 wheels are all 38mm

Thanks traveler.

So I need to find the same wheels with 38mm. The only place where I also found those wheels is from dallasmustang, but the offset is not specified:
Mustang Parts & Accessories Superstore - 1800Mustang*::*Wheels & Tires*::*20" Wheels*::*WHEELS, 2005-2009, CHROME, 20X8.5, CHROME, REPR

Unfortunatly americanmuscle doesn't sell this "eleanor" replica.

It seems it will be hard to find that kind of wheels with the right offset... not easy because they are never named with "eleanor", and sometimes they name it "cobra" style, sometimes EK-6, sometimes type 454 replica... would be great to find a forum member with that kind of wheel!

I googled for other guys having those 20x8.5 wheels... they all have 32mm offset and the tire is perfectly aligned with the fender with the 255/35/20.



Anybody running 32mm offset wheels or stock wheels with frpp or eibach wheel spacers ?
