Will the backspacing be correct with the 05 up rims? I know that the sn95 rims fit fine, but I don't know much beyond that they are different. That is a goog deal though. Call MPS Salvage, they specialize in Mustang Parts. You might be able to find some good used rims and tires for a good price, and they are located in GA so shipping would be cheaper of you could pick them up.

What's that going to do to your backspacing? Done any calculations?

I havent done the calculations yet, but the adaptors are 1.75" thick. So it will add i guess and inch of backspacing. From this wheel chart i got it says they will fit.

Yes that will change your offset from low offset,in stock form(0-10mm) to high offset with the adapters. Add the 10mm to how ever thick the spacer is thats your offset.Most are 50mm on ebay so your offset is 60mm which is a front wheel drive offset.You will need a wheel with a 45mm offset or somwhere close.
Later Matt
Your car looks good

I'm putting this out here so everyone will know. My 16th B-day is coming up in less than a month. Since i already have a car i thought i would see if my parents would help pay for some new rims(They havent agreed to this yet). So i am looking around to try to find the ones i like that are not too expensive. So far i like the Silver bullitts, the OEM GT, and the black bullitts.

Overlooking his recent theatrics, I think the '67 style Shelby 10 spokes as shown above (post #25) look better on a vintage car than the new style wheels.

What size do you need? My buddy runs a discount tire outlet. I could ask him for some prices.

chiming in a little late, but I like #3 as well as #2- although its the base V6 wheel (and 16" i think) it does look 'classy' on an older mustang. And remember you can also check out wheels for old datsun Z cars if you dont get adaptors. Mike on classicinlines also has one wheel, although those are only 15"
