Default Wheels for 1997 Mustang Cobra...

I need your guys opinion. I saw one thread showing wheels and tire sizes but not specifics of what is the best fit for the 97 cobra. I narrowed my wheel down to the 03 04 Cobra Wheel in 17's but can't decide on what rear wheel offset I should go with between 9 or 10.5. Any pictures or information you can share, would greatly appreciate it.

The width, exactly. I have not seen 10's on 03 04 Cobra wheels. Do the 10.5's not have great clearance and do they stick out to much? Anyone one else...

I have 18 X 10s on the back of my car with a 275 tire, they don't stick out, I've run up to 315s without issue of clearance and my car is lowered about 2", it's the front you need to watch out for, without mods to the suspension a 255 is about as wide as is practical so as not to have deteriorated handling
