Will wheels from the new '05-'07 stangs fit on an '01 V6? i'm trying to find a set of anthracite pony rims and this info would be very helpful. thanks

i got mine for $450 new. they are 235/55/17 pirellis. they rubbed a little in the front while turning so i added a 3/8" spacer and now they are ok. they do look a little sunk-in in the rear so i ordered a set of 1.25" hubcentric wheel adapters to bring them towards the fender. they spacers and adapters were less than $80 total. you dont need them, but you may want them after time.

here is a pic:

The bullits don't look bad, but the rest suck.

I like the Bullits. Don't like the other ones that they made. Not sure what they were thinking

mine came free with new snow tires[8D]


when I have the $$, i might upgrade to saleen or FR-500's. Or maybe polished 18" take-offs.

problaly, i wouldn' though cause it a totaly differnt chassi than are new edges, remember its a different car, but i could be wrong though. IMO I would just get wheels madefor you car year 99-04.


Good Luck

they will but the offset is all wrong and like mustanginexile u may have some rubbin issues, plus they will probably looked tucked in the fender well

for the fronts not to rub i got them at a local parts store (Murray's Auto). You can get them anywhere. I went with 5/8" but non-hubcetric (spacer only). i dont recommend this for a permanent solution as it reduces the size of your studs which can cause them to snap. i put them on temporarily until i can get smaller tires. make sure you have 3/4" of bolt left after you put the spacer on.

to bring the rears to the fender instead of being tucked in i got 1.25" hubcentric spacers off ebay which can be a permanent solution:

what would u recommend for a permanent solution on the front?

really once u spend 100-150 on spacers u will be right at about the price of some take-off gt bullitts that have the correct offsett but hubcentric spacers would work fine for long term i would just periodically check them to make sure they are tight, also put loktite on the spacers

I think American Muscle and Stangmodshave some spacers if you're looking.

Got the rims on. they look awesome. didnt need spacers except to bring the rears out a lil bit. rubbing only occurrs when i have the wheel turned to the max and i never turn that hard so for now they are all good. thanks for the advice
