wheel offset?


first of all hello fellow stangers. I just stumbled upon this forum and can't get enough of it. my stang is an 06 gt torch red that is bone stock for the moment. mods are coming soon. my question is this. I'm looking at buying rims that are 18x9 for front and 18x10 rear. I'm a little worried that the rear may stick out. what is the correct offset and backspacing so they fit right? thanks for the help and obey the stang speed limit, nothin under 100

according to a "Wheel Guide" I have - any 35-42mm offset will work fine.

Also There is a Microsoft Excel Worksheet the calculates Rear End Gear changes and there effects to RPM and Speed.

Download the sheet here. http://home.comcast.net/~swieduwilt0...lculations.xls
