I need new tires, but I would also like to go with a 17" rim instead of the 15" cragars I have. I want to get some stock 97-07 wheels, but looking to do it on the cheap from craiglist. Has anyone used these?

Do you have any pictures?

Thanks

please dont do that...

http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/806320-these-safe-4-5-lug-wheel-spacer.html

in short, thats a lot of stress on wheel studs, you'd have to find a wheel with a crazy offset (stock wheels wont work, you'll look like a jeep) thats essentially a 2" spacer...

a 5 lug conversion isnt difficult, you can do it in your driveway and it also isnt expensive at all if you find the right parts

Ya, my big concern was the stress on the lugs. I guess I will try to find some cheap tires in the mean time, then upgrade to the 5lug. Thanks guys.
