4 piston Roush brakes help.

[Nitemare]

So Im thinking of buying some new rims for my 05 mustang gt. I recently bought the Roush 4 piston brakes for my car and since I have 17inch cragers, I need new rims in order to run the brakes up front.

My question is, Do I need special rims to run these brakes like the GT500 rims with brembros, or would any kind of rim with the mustang bolt pattern work?

I know that I need at least 18 inch rims to run the setup, but Im not sure if the offset matters.

I checked the Roush rims used with this setup and its 18 inches and +45mm off set.

Please chime in. Thanks.

yes you will need new rims. also, they are hard to find rims that fit them. one of my buddies has a 427R and had a hell of a time finding a wheel to fit. he eventually went with foose nitrous rims though in 20"

shit I saw some rims i like with +45mm offset on tirerack.com similiar to those on the2011 mustang gt with brembros.

you should see if you can get the template, and ask some roush owners

i had to run a spacer to get my 20's to not hit. but my offset was off but it still looked ok.

I can get the template from stop tech.com. They make the brakes for Roush. So ill try that route.
Thank u for the suggestion.

Man, I wanted those rims from you, but when I saw that blower, the notion of the rims took a back seat
