    If you buy them before figuring the offset fit, you get what you deserve. That's a pretty wide wheel to be guessing. are they 18", 19" or 20". That makes a difference on the offset.
    A quick search tells me they come in many different offsets from +24mm to +45mm. Look inside the wheel on the rim for a number. If they are over 18" I'd pass because of the fender lip clearance issue.

    Why dont you tell us? If you can pull them off they will look good on your car but I am guessing you will need a spacer of sorts without ordering the correct offsets. They may work being that they are from a muuuustang, who knows…

    i had the bullett's from American muscle, decent wheels but pretty heavy at 54lb's each on 18x9's with 245/40's.. in the end you should save your money and get something better

    I too had the bulletts from American Muscle… With the same size tire they weighed 52lbs in the front (18x9) and nearly 60 lbs with 275/35 in the rear (18x10).

    For flush you will need an adapter in front. There is no doubt. In the rear, you might need a spacer.

    So 9" wide et+30 on a Kouki?

    1" adapter's all around and at least people won't laugh at you.

    Actually people will still laugh. Just get different wheels. and add in "Jenny Craig" or "slim fast" to your search query.

    LOL, to get a 18x9 flush on a Kuoki the offset needs to be close to 0et. I was running -1.4mm offset on mine.

    Yes. Flush with wide tires = 0et on 9" for Kouki. Make it poke… -10et


    It's funny i was looking at this table the other day that seemed to suggest +20et was the furthest you could go out.. hmm :nanan?re

    those are the same wheels Signal12 had on his SS at one time. He sold them and got something else before selling his car.
