I like these wheels a lot, but with them being 17"x9" instead of 17"x8" means i would have to get a new set of tires right? If so, not worth it, I have the factory Zero Neros.

I'm not an expert, but better check the offset on those wheels. I'm not sure that's correct for an '05.

the stock tires will fit.

Are you sure they will fit?? Someone on another thread said that the stock measurement is 235/45/17 and 17x9s must be between 255/45/17 and 285/45/17? I need to figure this out really soon. Thanks

the quickest way to get an answer is to pick up a phone and call two or three local tire stores.

255/50-17's are your answer.

If you buy the 17 x 9's, your stock tires will not fit. Period. You must get wider tires.

I went to the NITTO site they have a chart. Yes your tires will fit! As you can see below 8" is optimum but 7.5" to 9.0" is approved for a 235-xx-17 tire.

Tire size.................Approved Rim Width

235/55 ZR17.............7.5-(8.0)-9.0

I just put 18" x 9.5 rims on my 05 Mustang GT and put 255/45/18's on the front and 275/40/18's on the back all on 9.5 inch wide rims.
