just put them, dont worry about it. Tire size has a small impact on speedo's ...not exaclty putting 26" on there 
you'd have to change your speedo gear if you put Gears in there, thats the only reason i can think of.

stock tire size for those rims is 225/55/16's. If you stay close to that size you will not have a problem at all
i actually changed to ponys on 4 corners..no more mis match.

I am confused here. I am almost sure that 14" polycast wheels have a 4 bolt pattern and 16" pony wheels have a 5 bolt pattern. And you said that they are just going to bolt right on. Somebody want to explain to me how I am wrong?
I only have 2 of my pony rims on myself, both in the back. I had the other two on up front but they rubbed and the tires were worn out and need to be replaced anyway. I was surprised that they rubbed though, the tires came off a stock 92 GT.

What year is your car? The 90-93 had slightly wider fenders. Like Mustang 5L5 said stick with the stock tire size. Or you can even put on 225/50 if you still have rubbing problems.Emysterio said:
ok they are on and they work very well....I noticed a differance in the handling witch is good...but now I have another question....does anybody no a good place to find the center caps for those 91-93 mustang gt 5 star pony wheels...or does someone have a extra set they want to part with...????
Try Ebay for the center caps.
I noticed a small speedo difference between my GT ponys and the stock 4 banger wheels. I think when I'm doing 35 on the speedo I'm really doing 30. I learned this from those cop raidor trailers parked on the side of the road. I went through it doing 30-35-40-45 mph speeds to see how off I was at higher speeds and 4-6 mph seemed to be about right. I could check for highway speeds since it was in a neighbor hood and my car couldn't make though speeds quick enough

Well said. Makes perfect sense.Ends confusion. As long as you can afford to have a choice sometimes budget etc makes it hard, sometimes you get what you can, but again
