It Does not matter how old this thread is... I actually found this thread through Google searching for answers about DD rims. and brought me here...
So whats the difference if I use this thread or make a new one for no good reason.
So you could use teh internetz to find this thread, but you could not use those selfsame internetz to find the stock offset for the 3/S? If you google 3000GT VR4 stock wheel offset the answer is in the preview for the first hit.
Most people don't bump prehistoric threads to ask simple questions. When they do, they get ribbed.

no. he's right. i respect someone who can use the "search" function. or did you guys forget the forum rules 101 vid on here?
If he successfully used the search function, why didn't he find this: 94 vr4 stock offset
It's not like he bumped a very old thread on some obscure topic or to ask an unusual question. I don't see how bumping this thread is any different than starting a new thread asking what stock offset is.

Actually I My search was worded different. Cant remember what exactly it was. however I did find the answer that Night a few search results down... So now I know the stock offset... and The offset on the Deep Dish wheels are +24mm
I am still very interested in this thread for the fact that I'm Curious if a +24mm offset on a DD wheel will stick out the wheel wells or still stay tucked in where they belong.
Would it make you feel any better if I started a new thread? I will if it would.
are the wheels I am looking at... I don't need the flaming on the wheels about good or bad, I know most mustang 17" wheels will fit... and I like these particular ones.. + they are reasonably priced.
Further, as you'll find out when you read the countless threads on this topic, it's fairly difficult to find suitable dished wheels because of the shape of the VR-4/TT calipers. This is less of an issue for N/A cars.
Yet another thing that you would have discovered if you read other threads on this topic is that using an offset significantly different from stock screws up the dave point--the relative positions of the centerline of the wheel and the axis on which the steering knuckle rotates. It causes heavier steering feel and can worsen bump steer and rebound.
The proper way to choose wheel sizes and offsets is to stay as close to the original dave point as possible. You'll have to compromise, but you don't want to overdo it. I understand that some people need to have maddest, tytest, most shizz-rippin' poon-magnet dizzubs on the planet, but you should at least consider functionality when buying upgraded parts.
As a point of reference, my own wheels are 9.5" wide (wider than the ones you want to buy) yet they have an offset of +36mm (12mm closer to stock than the ones you want to buy). My tires (275/40/17) also stick out from the fenders about 1/3 of an inch or so. Those wheels would stick out even more.
Generally, an optimal offset for a 9" wide wheel for a 3/S is around 40mm. I sure as hell wouldn't buy the wheels you linked to, not when I could spend a little more and get a set of 17x9 5Zigen FN01R-Cs. The FN01R-C is a better-looking, better-sized, and better-designed wheel than those cheap mustang jobs.
And there, in summary, is everything you would have found had you searched and read the other threads on this topic instead of just exhuming this one. In fact, this has got to be the 10th time--at least--that I've personally posted all this information.
Hope this helps. If you have more questions, try a few different searches and read a handful of threads? You'll probably find that your questions have been answered in detail already. Wheel sizing is one topic that's definitely been beaten to death on here.
