    The other wheels are the same, the finish is slightly different. Full polished vs. a polished/as cast.

    You would need at least a 1.25" spacer. Nate has marauder wheels on his 85, and those have the same backspacing/offset as the mustang wheels. (IIRC)
    They look like they have a dish on the spokes?

    There is a fair bit of room to the control arm, and with a 17", wouldn't the wheel be ABOVE the control arm? I guess its mock-up time and see

      OK, now with a spacer as small as 1.25, would I just use long (IHRA/NHRA ) studs and bolt THROUGH the spacer, or are they bolt-on as well?

        On anything more than 1/2" I'd go with the adapter. I'm running 1" adapters on mine to get the bullitts on there.

          they are bolt ons, its called a wheel adapter. Get one with the same bolt pattern 4.5in- 4.5in. They sell ones that will go from 4.5-4 3/4 and ect...

                  hubcentric ones would be ideal because they have a lip and will fit directly on the hub with no play. I had no problems at all with the spacers I got of ebay. I drive pretty spirited too.

                    Some ebay ones...I had to replace the studs, they were too short and not 1/2-20. I would have liked to get hubcentric ones, but I didn't see any at the time.
