Get the measurements for the wheels. If the backspacing, bolt pattern, and everything else match. Then it will fit.

Here is a link regarding '05 Wheels from the Cincinnati Tour Stop.

Not sure if this what you are looking for . . .

According to that backspacing is the same thing as the offset, only different words. Do we know the offset for this car? I couldnt find it on that link.

Go to discounttire.com, and look for wheels for the new Mustang, they list the specs (including offset) right next to the wheels.

The wheels they list there have offsets anywhere from 28-42mm.
