Status: offline Does anyone know whether the wheels off of a 2007 Mustang Shebly GT (NOT Cobra GT500) will fit on a 2002 Stang GT? The lug pattern looks the same, but I'm not 100% sure.

lug pattern is the same, but the offset is all wrong, the wheels will be sunken into the wells too far, and look goofy

Status: offline Thanks for the info. Do you think wheel spacers will help with that? Just curious, since I could potentially get a REALLY good deal on some Shelby GT wheels.

And speaking about wheel spacers; if I didn't get these Shelby wheels I wanted to get some spacers on my '02 GT to push the wheels out a bit further. What size should I get, 1 1/2", 2"...? I just want a to give my Stang a little bit meaner look and a little better handling in the corners. Any recommendations? I have the stock wheels, as you can see in the picture below.

Status: offline Would you want to sell your old wheels if you get new ones? My 2001 Mustang looks like yours but it doesn't have the rims like that. I wanted that look but right now body has any for sale.

Status: offline JoeKramer: I'd be willing to sell the wheels as soon as, or if, I get these new ones. I'll keep you posted.

AdderMk2: Thanks for your insight. I guess my best bet would be to get wider wheels and tires, huh?

Status: offline Well, how much more correct could I get than the stock wheels? I saw an 03 GT with the wheels "pushed" out to be flush with the fender. You know that part that sticks out a bit on the top end? I liked that look, and I would like to give my pony that same one. How could I accomplish that?

sorry, I misunderstood what your intentions were.

My favorite combo on the New Edge is a 17x9/17x10.5 stagger with 275/40/17 front and 315/35/17 rear tires
