I dont think that would look good at all on a stang. Those rims are WAY to narrow IMO. It would look like your horse has scrawny legs, or like your car is riding on tooth picks as I heard another guy say once.

I say dont do 17x7....
Do 17x9 MINIMUM!

sounds like your going cheap for your wheels! My advice to you is hold down the extra bucks and get a nice set of wheels!

Our stockers sport the 205's which is a lil thin but you could always just put a wider tire on...and 17 is the way to go
