hi guys first post, and first time mustang owner here
I bought my 09 GT and wanted to swap out the bling 20x8.5 rims

I fell in love with the bravado tribute wheels and after scouring forums' and web sites and calling the manufacturer I bought my wheels

19x9.5 34+ front matte black
245/45/19
19x10.5 45+ rear
275/40/19

I put the bare wheel on the front to check fitment before mounting the tires it looks like they will stick outside the fenders in the front- didn't check the rear
is this just my imagination? I really want the wheel /tire to be just level or slightly in the fender lip. what's confusing is that I have seen these on 2010 and newer and they look fine..... and I have seen S197 with even 11" fronts tucking in,
I'm sure there are some wheel fitment experts on this site that can tell me if these should fit inside the fender lip, I have already searched hundreds of pages of forum's and the manufacturer and still cant get a clear understanding of if these should fit well with the offsets they are sold with. or if I need to send them back and start my search all over again

Bolt them up and then lower the car onto a jackstand at the control arm. This will simulate ride height and show where the wheel will end up sitting when on the ground with the tires/wheels installed.

looks are deceiving, as I'm running the BOSS 302 GTS race car alignment specs so that means just about 4* camber up front.

this was before coilovers
