Mustang wheels
« on: June 29, 2014 - 11:08:33 PM »
Does anyone here run any Mustang wheels? I know the bolt pattern is the same for the E Body and 1994 and 2004 Mustangs but once we start talking about offsets and back spacing I get all confused. I found a set of real nice BBS RK's from a 2003 Cobra Mustang that I want to put on my 70 Challenger. It has front disk brakes and am curious if if anyone has pics of mustang wheels on their ebody and what it takes to make them fit.

Thank You

generally the Ford center hole is too small but aftermarket mustang type wheels will fit , most newer wheels are high negative offset with the bolt area right at the outside  so they are not deep dish looking , where the muscle cars were zero offset with the hub approx. in the wheel center .

:iagree:
I have American racing Mustang rims on my car. Hub bore is the biggest problem on others. A lot won't fit and personally, I don't like the idea of turning the rotor hub down or machining the bore of the wheel - don't know if i'm critically weakening it.
The high negative offset can be a problem, it was ok for me as i was moving in my leaf springs to fit the 315's anyway. My 10.5" rims have a negative 6 5/8" offset.
