As a general rule of thumb the 05+ mustang wheels fit better due to the off sets being closer to the svo

When i bought them the choices were 87-93 and 94-and up. They fit fine. No rubbing. I had the rears machined a little so they didnt stick out to far. Rolled the rear quaters too. No problems at all.
Here is a pic of mine w/ 99 Cobra wheels. I need to modify the front stock rotors to accommodate the centers.

I have run 3 sets of rims, including the stockers. Here are the 97 Cobras that I ran for a few years and the current TSW Nurburgring wheels. The 5mm difference in offset between the Cobras and TSW's made a much larger difference than expected, IMHO. Personally I prefer the TSW offset (+35mm), but of course, eh?? Both sets of wheels are 17x8 running 245/45R17's for reference.

Svono50, the tsw wheels do they tuck in far enough to not rub the fender lips? Are you still using stock svo front suspension? Still on the stock springs?

245 section width tires rub in back on the outer fender lip even on stock SVO rims, so yes, they do rub. Hence the reason I rolled the rear lips to prevent cutting the tires. The only times I have rubbed with the TSW's is on one particular large dip on an off-ramp with my car loaded down with ~200 lbs of 'stuff' I was packing for an SVOCA Reunion and one time I lugged (3) passengers to a dinner at another Reunion...it was very minor and the rolled lips didn't even leave a mark on the tires. That was with the stock springs, I have been running the Eibach Pro's since late 2011. As for up front, never had any clearance issues with either the TSW's or Cobra's. Front suspension is stock save for poly bushings, MM caster-camber plates, Eibach 36mm sway and springs.
Pics of mine with the Cobra's are with the stock springs, all pics with the TSW's are with the Eibach Pro's for reference.

Thankyou very much!
Would a slimer tire fit or would it look weird.
