This link mentions for the '10-'12 19" wheels, offset is 45.  Another link on EBay mentions offset of 39 for the '13's 19-inchers.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Allrighty then!  Spoke with my dealer to see if he would accept shipment/do the install  and Discount Tire Direct this morning.  I am going to go with the TSW Vortex in Hyper Silver.  20" X 8.5"  40 Offset.  Wheels will get pushed out 1/4" with this set up. They should arrive next Tuesday or Thursday (with the holiday).  I'll get a tracking number tonight. 

I want to thank everybody for their input, especially "Lanson the Wheel Expert" for your input!  This is how my baby is going to look next weekend!

Thanks Tom!  I can't wait to see either.  I'm going to be using my stock 245/45/20 Michelin Primacy tires until they wear out.  Then hopefully Pilots.

shodded: from what I see on chart dave sent me to going from a 45mm offset to a 40mm should not only work but give me more calipher clearance which is exactly what i want. & Dave great about the new wheels. If I pull the trigger on this though I want to change my look, not all to chrome to these.

Great choice mval!  I saw those on a few cars and they look great.  Looked like a very smooth, high gloss.

For anybody shopping with the same ideas in mind, I found some options on ebay, and I've linked them in another thread
http://www.fordflex.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=11433

Specifically for Taurus guys, the 20x8.5 +32 square all around would be sweet.  Forgestars are awesome wheels, rotary forged so they are light too. 

If I had an EB Flex, I'd be all over those F14's staggered.
I don't have an EB but I am an avid modder and happy to help the community and learn/grow.  Pretty good with audio and wheels, my build and discussion threads are here in the forum.  2013 Flex AWD N/A

Audio:  Dayton Reference home speakers in front stage, incl. 2-way passive custom pillars 2.5" mid, 3/4" tweet, 2-way passive custom center channel 5" mid, 3/4" tweet, 8" midbass in doors, Vibe UK amps, JBL MS8 processor, Optima Yellow-top custom-wired, Exile subs in spare tire well

Mods: H&R, K&N, 22x9 & 22x10 3 piece forged wheels 265/35-22 Toyos, SCTX4 w/ 91 oct. Torrie tune

Very close to pulling the trigger on some Forgestars.  If TSW would make the Vortex in gloss black I'd be all over those.

Good choice, I like the fact that they are not that different from the stock, but enough that it makes you realize it's a different wheel.  A nice clean look that accents the car nicely.  You done good Dave!

Thanks guys.  I appreciate all the opinions and feed back I got.  It was a tough decision especially since I had my heart set on Tremblants for so long.  But, I like the Hyper Silver (bright wheels) and the clean look of the Vortex.  They will be very easy to clean too!  It's getting a little hard to be bending over so much cleaning out all the little nooks!
