I have an 03 2wd and am considering an upgrade from the split 5 spoke 16" stock wheels. I want something a little bigger but I also want it to look like as if the rims came on the truck from the factory. I am really liking the way these look but not sure if they would even fit.

The only info I can find is they are 5x4.5 bolt circle and have 6.295" of backspacing and are 18x8.5

I figure the stock tire is right at 29" tall so I could either run a 255/55/18 which is right at the 29" mark or run a 265/60/18 wich is about 1.5" taller than stock.

Im running the Bullitt wheels (17") with 265/65/17 tires. What year mustang are those from?
 






They are from the 05+ Mustang.
 






I found this tire and wheel size calculator a while back. It was a great help to me when I bought 20's for my 07.

Not sure what your original back space is (it will be stamped on the back of your rim ET...)
My 2007 came stock with 17x7.5 with +44mm (ET44) offset. Your 03 should be similar.

I would think the 6inch offset on the Mustang rim would be about +39mm offset.

you can plug in both sizes and it will give you a comparason.

Good luck.
