    Mustang wheels

    Will any newer 17-20” mustang wheels fit on a box?

    If the big positive ET of new is corrected, then yes. But you're looking at 2+ inches of spacer per corner, not exactly ideal.

      Any idea of good years of wheels that fit?

        Are you saying closer to no offset or negative offset wheels are better?

          Stock for 79-02 are zero offset (center). Modern wheels tend to have 40+mm of offset and that would cause the wheel to look very sucked in and maybe hit control arms when turning. Centered wheels will fit up to 9.5 inch wide IIRC.

            94-04 will work, but like Sly said, without spacers it’ll look “hella” goofy. I ran them without spacers for a little while and it looked pretty gay. Rubbed the front sway bar a little at full lock and the left rear inside wheel house under very specific, rare moments of articulation. I can’t remember if I used 25/30mm spacers or 30/35mm spacers but it made it so much better.

              So need a zero offset wheel or perhaps one with a slight positive offset?

                      Will either of these fit? Just want to try to be as certain as possible before I make a big purchase

                        That wheel will fit on the rear, but the front may not fit due to the snout on the hub. Double check the hub hole size and compare to your car. I don't remember what the hub diameter is, but you definitely won't be able to use the center cap on the front without swapping to newer knuckles/brakes

                          That’s 2 different ones, the second pic with only the specs is a bullet style wheel

                            Is there a list of any modern 5 spoke type wheels that fit? I’ve struggled to find information on aftermarket wheels
