Performance Replicas FALSE 18x8.5 +12 specs (staggered)

The wheels are 18-inch in diameter and 8.5 inches wide with a +12 offset up front, and 18-inch by 9.5 inches at +22 in the rear.

A +12 offset on a 8.5-inch wide wheel puts the wheel face in a very aggressive position at or past the fender. Lower offset moves the wheel outward; higher offset tucks it in. The rear +22 offset on the 9.5-inch wheel keeps the rear in line with the front.

Suspension, stance and clearance

The drop comes from lowering springs, the simplest way to close the fender gap on a Ford Mustang while keeping the factory shocks.

No rubbing at all, front or rear, no spacers, rolled fenders. Rolling or pulling the fender is what most owners do once the wheel sits this close; it keeps the tire from catching the lip over bumps.

Stance: flush. The wheel face lines up with the fender. Flush fitment on a Ford Mustang comes down to the offset and width above; copy them and you get the same result.
