i found the rims i want to order from americanmuscle.com they are 95 style cobra r's they are 16x8 4 lug with a 15 backspacing, the page says it fits 87-93 mustangs, i dont think there is any difference but i want to make sure so does anyone know if there is a reason an 87-93 rim wont fit on an 85?

thanks.

15 backspacing? Most likely a misprint, I'm with the others: ther eshould be no fitment issues.
