Unable to do a proper introduction as I'm on my phone but I participate in other forums.

Picking up a new set of wheels very soon here for my 98 gt and am having some trouble deciding the offsets as I'd like them to look aggressive. Wheels are the varrstoen Es 1.1.1 18x9.5/18x10.5, they come in the off sets of front 12 or 22mm and rear of 15 or 25mm,, I know that the 22 and 25 mm will fit fine but I am wondering if someone has ran the 12 and 15mm offsets or close to it on our sn95's (94-98), I have seen on svtperformance a new edge (99-04) running this offset and I like the aggressiveness of it but am not certain how this would pan out on our year? I defiantly hate the look of sunken in wheels and try to stay away from spacers.

Was also looking at the xxr 521's witch is the same wheel but alot cheaper, but if I went with them I would be forced to run 18x10 on all fours lol offsets of 12 or 25mm, I know this is possible with new edges but what about our year (94-98)?? Anyone care to chime in my head hurts :(


Keep in mind this is for my dd gt as I also have a 98 cobra that is pampered queen and would never be treated like this lol.
Thanks guys and looking forward to a proper intro when I get to my desktop!

welcome to the site.
If the wheels are good on new edges then they're good on 94-98 cars since they both run the same wheels with the same offsets.
If you log onto a site that sells Mustang wheels like Mustangs Unlimited or American Muscle, etc, you'll be able to find out the specific offsets for the front and rear wheels.

Thanks for the input, I am aware of this but I am asking about non recommended offsets of 12 and 15 mm with the above combinations, I agree with you that it should fit but I need some solid proof as there are differences between the body styles, I am confident there are members on this forum aware of the info I am looking for.

i would love to see the 9.5" and the 10.5" combo! if it works on the 99-04's your good. should look awesome though with a 9.5" up front.

Never tried it and I'm not sure but I would think they would stick out some past the fender with that offset

This guy has the XXR's in 18x10 25mm all around. These are the wheels I'm going with. I think he has a spacer in the rear. I wouldn't go with the 12mm. I don't think they'd fit. From what I've read around most Mustang replica wheels have about a 22mm offset.
