I am about to pick these up possibly tomorrow. My only question is they are 17x8, 5x 114.3 with a 42mm back spacing. Will they fit my car? Wheels look pretty good. but im hoping they will fit and they dont look to flat on the front.

but anyone know if they will fit? or will they stick out of the fender?

I'm guessing since they're 8" wheels, they should fit. My 9" wheels with a 25mm offset fit, but rub when i turn the steering wheel all the way.

Somethings not right here. A 42mm back space is about 1 5/8". This would make that wheel have about a 6" dish....but these wheels look almost flat at the front. I think he has his demensions backwards. I bet they will fit good on your car....might even need a small spacer to get them out of the fender wells.

you're probably going to need a spacer to run them up front. they are going to be tucked in the fender more so then traditional mustang wheels.

No no no no no! 42mm back spacing is for like s197 cars. You'd be super sunken battleship. See how there is zero lip on the wheels? Not what you want. Move along

Don't bother, you need around 24mm backspacing for our cars. They won't fit right without the proper spaces.

im pretty sure that he meant it has 42mm offset which is extremely high. itll fit but it will deff stick in and you prolly will not like the look at all. spacers will fix that issue though if you really like them.
