Any wheel with 5x114.3 or 5x115 bolt pattern and 38-45 mm offset should work just fine for the 97-03 GPs

I believe the offset wouldn't work at 24mm.

hes saying that seeing how those are at 24mm they wont work, you need a 38-45mm offset for it to work.

stick with the apps for the 2005-up mustang and you should be good on the offset...94-04 will most always be 24mm or less making the rim stick out too far.

try these...

IF you consider the bullitts to be deep dish...wow, They are not even close to as deep as I would like them to be, the lip is very small infact

Edit: Those are the exact rims I have above

Have you looked at the American Racing 105MB wheels. I know they are only 17". I looked at 18" for my car, but I could not take the price of 18" tires.
In fact, the wife and I drove a new V8 Monte Carlo SS, but the cost of 18" tires turned me off.

I think someone on here, if not more than one, is or has run those tires before/now.

Here is a link about that. I also read some more about no on seeing 255s on 18s, but doesn't mean it hasn't been done.
