Did you happen to get hub rings for this as the mustang has a larger center bore diameter?

Love the wheels!  They are high on my shopping list.  Love the gloss black finish and the extra poke.

Quick question...any reason to go with 245/45-20's over 255/45-20's?  245's are standard on my MKS, but I think 255's are standard on SHO's?  I am finding better prices on 255's.

How is the finish holding up on the wheels?

Edited to add that the other wheels I'm considering are these...

I like that they are 9" wide, but am wondering if they will fit?  Anyone try 20x9's with a 30mm offset?  I scoured the forum, but didn't find that combo.

245/20 are standard on all 13+ SHOs. FWIT the diameter of the 245 is 27.9" and the 255 diameter is 29.2" ... So you get 1/2 inch more tread width with the 255, but it comes at whatever cost is invoked in the change of final drive ratio... If the traction means enough decrease in wheel spin then you're ahead. Dunno the best for performance, but the 255 looks better IMHO.

Thanks!  I think I figured out how I came up with the incorrect info.  Looks like SHO's/MKS' with 19" wheels get 255's?  Funny that they downgrade the width when you pay more for the 20" wheel option.

Maybe they didn't want to go down to 40 series tires for ride quality reasons, but wanted to minimize the diameter as much as possible?  Who knows?
