I was looking into buying new Rims/Tires and found some 2005 Mustang GT Bullit Take Offs with 2 miles on them. I enquired about them fitting on a 2003 Mustang and they said they would require spacers becuase they would rub at some point. They said they wouldn't recommended spacers. What are spacers and are they not a good thing? I thought you could put Mustang GT rims on a V6 Mustang.

These are the rims and tires I was going to buy:

They seem like a very good deal.

The rims will fit without any spacers of any kind. Im getting ready to put 18 X 10 saleen rims on my v6 and I don't need spacers. You'll be fine.

They told me that they wouldn't fit because they're from the 05 model and they have a diffetent offset or something.

2005 Mustang GT Bullit

No such critter.

If they are SN95 Bullitt takeoffs, which they appear to be, they will fit a V6- no problem.

They're not from the SN-95, they're from the 2005, I belive. I think they have a different offset becuase of the new body style.

its true, the 2005 have "bullitt style" wheels and not only do the 2005 wheels have different backspacing, but the old (2001-2004) bullitt wheel and the new 05 bullitt style wheel both look different.

if you were to put 94-04 mustang wheels on a new mustang they would stick out of the wheel wells a little bit. so to me it seems that 05 wheels would rub a bit on the old body style because they would sit in too far.
