Ok first i know this is not a mustang related question. Is there anyone out there that knows if the newer "deluxe" mustang gt rims (bullit style?) will fit on an older galaxie. I believe the galaxie has 4.5" 5 lug spacing and as far as i know the rims are 4.5 as well... correct? I am a fan of those rims and they are abundent in supply... just needed to find out if they would fit. I cant seem to find very much galaxie related material out there on the subject so i figure i could get some help here... Thanks for any information.

yes as long as the bolt patterns match. but one thing you may have to use is a set of spacers as the backspacing is greater than the stock wheels of the galaxie.

Most Ford passenger cars with 5-lug wheels have a 4.5" bolt spread if it helps. Some have 4.25"(like '90s t-birds, I think), though, so you have to be aware.
