Yes I know they are 20 inch diameter.... I'm taking about rim width.

Ok. You need to find out these 3 things about those rims

Width
Offset
Backspacing

Also to differentiate between tires and rims:
Tires are round black things; come in sizes indicated like P255/55/ZR20
Explained very well here: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tirete...150227194322:s

Wheels ("rims" colloquialism) are what the tires are mounted on and these wheels with tires are attached to the hub or spindle.

Hope this helps you sort out that portion.

Those wheels are only 7.5 inches wide. I'd want at least an 8 inch wide rim so you can put a 235 wide tire or wider on them. Does that linked ad say those will fit a mustang?

the other is RTX brand size 245/35/20 on no name tires....

Nothing screams quality and confidence more than "Nankang" and "No Name". :wink:
