Hi, the distributor told me that these wheels are for 95GT.
The problem is that when the nuts are torked the wheel sticks out 2-3mm from the hub!
This may be due to the hub bore that I have is not stock?
Does the hub bore (round lip in the middle of the hub) seem longer than stock?

Mine is about 11mm?
Do yours stick out about 11mm?
I test fitted only in the back wheels.

I made these images that will help you understand my dilema.

however, I am not allowed to post images cause I'm new here !
Can someone please post them?
Just replace "dot" with a "." (you can use "insert image" to make them show up as images instead of links)








What would you do?

Thanks in advance.

You could always put a thin wheel spacer(1/8th inch) on there. are you having the same problems up front.

From what I can see, those rims do not look like Ford OEM rims. Is that correct?

If that's the case, then what the idiot at the distributor really meant when they said that "the rims are for an 95 GT" is that the rims have the "same bolt pattern and the offset is close". That does not mean that the rims will properly fit a Stang.

Even with Ford OEM rims, changes had to be over the years to accommodate calipers, hubs, fenders, and so on.

So, bottom line is that the rims are not a proper OEM fit for your car.

As said, if you still want to use the rims, go with a thin spacer. If you don't have very wide tires on the rims, then that will be fine!
