Read these before choosing wheels for the Mustang: they explain the offset, fitment and hub numbers in this guide.
Starting points for a build. Read the notes with each setup, especially if your car is lowered or has different brakes.

Check the exact setup
There is no confirmed range for this car yet. Compare a known wheel with your proposed size and measure both sides.
Measure before ordering
A maximum width has not been confirmed. Tyre shape, ride height and alignment all change the available space.
These figures belong to the setups described here. Combining the widest wheel with either end of the offset range does not guarantee a safe fit. For how ET moves the wheel in and out, read wheel offset explained; for how far the tyre can sit out, see flush, poke and tucked fitment.
Upload a photo and start with a look that suits the Mustang. Try the wheels, colour and stance before you spend on parts.
