05 wheels fit 94-04?

[Blandnuts]

Did the search and came up with nothing.... Does the 05 wheels fit 94-04? I know the back spacing will not be perfect, but my girlfriend is buying an 05 v6 with the premium package. She plans on buying new rims, so if they fit I'll use her old ones for my 5lug conversion till I can get better wheels. That would be sn95 style brakes...




thanks

Yes they will.

Yes they will.

Oh yeah, that means I will be broke with a 5 lug conversion and wheels to move the car on!

I was told NO. I haven't tried them myself, but I wanted to put my older set of Roush 18s on my new '05 GT because they have brand new Nitto 285s on them. I called Roush and Steeda and they both said that they will not work. If anyone knows differently please chime in.

Thanks mate, maybe she can get some ideas from that site.

No problem. I have bought parts from them before and found them to be good to deal with. However the parts guy did say that 17x8 rims fit very well but the 9" wide rims stick out a little bit more than he liked. he said they still looked good, but he recommended staying with 17x8 if your plan is to used maybe the magnum 500 type or bullits or whatever, the 17x8 will work.

the newer rims will fit older 5-lug cars but will need wheel spacers old wheels will stick out on the 05

Thanks, that was what I was told. I may try the 18's just to see because I had 1.5" spacers on my '94 cobra that brought the edge of the tire right up to the fender once it was rolled. As soon as my '05 gets delivered I'll give it a whirl otherwise I'll have to sell the 18s and I know I won't get back 1/2 of what I put into them.
