SN95 Wheels on the S197 Mustang???

Stupid question here. I have a 90 GT Convertible with Boyd Coddington Smothie II wheels, sizes 18x8 on the front and 18x9 on the rear. Wheels are SN95 specs. I'm selling the car and getting a new S197 GT in the spring but want to keep the wheels as they are relatively new. My question is will the SN95 spec wheels fit on a new GT ???

If not I'll just have to put them on Ebay and sell them.

The wheel offset is quite a bit different (45 mm on the 05). Yours will really stick the wheels outboard ... which is okay if you like that sort of look. Caliper clearance may or may not be a problem as well.

i had the 2001 ford racing black bullits (sn95 offset) on the 2005 and in my opinion they fit perfect, they did not stick out at all. tires were 245/45/17's. i took them off when i sold the car.
here are some pics:

You will have to go to a taller tire or will end up having to correct the speedometer
