I ordered 20x9 for the front and 20x10.5 for the rear, but wanted to see how close the 20x10.5 were to fitting the front. It would need a spacer and would stick out pretty far. Some may be able to make it work but not something i'm willing to do on my car. Just wanted to give you guys some pics/food for though if you were going to attempt a vossen square setup. The offset of the rear wheel is +45 i believe. Anyways, here are the pics.

Hey Thanks again for everything Jason and the excellent service! Getting tires mounted today and wheels probably go on at the beginning of the week when I get back from Easter.

Throw a 5mm spacer on and run some camber? It will fit no problems lol

sick tires!

with a concave wheel design you can almost bet your ass it wont clear big brakes. however a spacer and some camber will make it work

Looks good but I would have done a 5mm spacer and rocked a 285 or 295 square set up. I run a 10" with a 43" offset and 285's and a 5mm spacer in front. I think you would have been ok your fitment if you were willing to run the spacer.

I think its the deep concave part of the spoke that is causing the issue. I agree that with a spacer it would have worked and would have been really sick, but then you'd be looking at your front wheel/tire a decent amount outside the fender.

Rob, Brian @ ATO Autosports hooked me up with the mount and JPC hooked me up with the tires.

The rear really only sticks out a little but I'll have to look closer. Here's all I have for close to the rear shots.

I think he was seeing the "vossen" cut out on the rear wheel

I think you are right. The guy actually tucked the wheel weights behind the spokes. I'd have killed someone had they put wheel weights on the outside of the wheel. Come to think about it, I don't know that I've seen a wheel weight on the outside of a mustang wheel in a long time.

With the 20s it looks like it is sitting so much higher than I'm used to seeing. Like those wheels though

these would look sweet if they were run square. they should fit non-brembo cars without any issues--mmaaaaaybe a 3mm spacer at most.
