I don't think the 05 wheels fit anything but the 04. When I've looked at wheels to buy, there's a category for 96-04 and a separate category for 05...

they wont. and why would you want those skinny ugly wheels on your GT? 235s are a joke.

94-04 Mustang wheels have a 5.72" backspacing.

05+ have 5.295" of backspacing

That means the backs of 05 wheels are 0.425" shallower.

When put on an 94-04 Mustang, they will stick out about 1/2" more than stock. You'll have to see if this is livable. 99-04 cars can pull it off but not sure about 94-98
