what year exactly did ford convert their wheel measurments to millimeters. wasnt it in mid 2002? so then would stock 2001 gt 5-lug bullits fit on my 66 gt factory 5-lug?

the old 5x4.5" bolt pattern is the same as 5x114.3

Ford has used the same bolt pattern on many cars for a LONG time. The old foxes had 4 lugs, but the 1994 stangs came out with 5 lugs on the same old 5x4.5 or 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

your car MIGHT be 5x4.75. I seem to recall something about the old stangs using that pattern as well.. the best way to find out would be to measure across two studs, make sure its not the next stud over from where you start, but rather, skip one.

the backspacing and offset is where you will find your measurements crucial!
