Do 94-04 wheels fit on the 05-07?

I am wondering if the stock wheels/accessory wheels from the previous mustang design, 94-04, will fit on the 05-07? As of right now all signs point to no but i would like to know what you think, thanks.

yes they will technically fit but the offset is off so they stick out a little farther than the correct offset wheels

I was wondering the same thing as I wanted to put my chrome '03 Cobra wheels on my '05 GT. I tried the back wheels and it looked awful..!! Not only did they stick out of the wheelwells but because the 40 series tires on the Cobra are 25.7" tall compared to the '05's tires which are 27.1 inches tall, the space between the top of the tire and wheelwell became huge!!! It was definitely a no-go...

Here are some pics of my FRPP Chrome Mach 1 Wheels that are listed as being for 1994 to 2004 Mustangs. They do stick out a little more but I like the look.

Those look pretty good to me 1SG. Yes, it would be nice to see a shot looking down the side of the car. You have the OEM Pirelli's on there don't you?

For a while, I've been thinking of chrome Cobra-R's ('95 ones). I always liked that style.

I don't have any more pics but I will take some tomorrow and yes those are the stock Pirelli's. Figured I'd let them wear out before I get some wider tires.

Yes, they will fit. The offset difference is not that big, but be careful at how wide the rims/tires are!
I have 17x9" 99-04 Bullitts with the stock '05 Pirellis and they're right at the limit under the fender (maybe 1/8" inside the fenders).

Since it has a different offset is the handling any different, any noticeable differences in ride quality or anything like that? They don't look like they are sticking out at all.

I haven't noticed any difference in ride quaity or handling. I think they stick out about 1/4 to 1/2 inch more than stock.
