    It looks odd to me.

    The wheels don't have enough positive offset and no lip.

    Beautiful body for sure.

    Wheels really make or break LTDs. They can make them look like tarted up grandmas car or downright menacing.

    The wheels must have a generous amount of positive offset to look right.

    And the cars gotta have a little bit of rake, to mask the higher in front roofline.

    This car has neither.

    I think you mean the wheel needs LESS positive offset. The high positive offset of the 05+ Mustang wheels is the reason why there is not much of a lip compared to the earlier Bullitt wheels.

    I tried these wheels on my car and agree that they looked a bit "off."
