I have a 1992 GT 4 lug with 16inch ponys. What other ford vechicles could i take a steel rim from and it will fit my mustangs bolt pattern? Taurus, Tempo, Thunderbird???
4 lug Fox Mustangs are 4x4.25" bolt pattern. Ford Tempo, Mercury Topaz, 4 lug T-birds ('79-'88), Capri's till '86, Pintos, Mustang II's, LTD II's (early-mid 80's) and Merkur XR4Ti's are the ones I can think of off the top of my head that also have the 4x4.25" bolt pattern. All except the Tempo/Topaz are RWD. The back space on a Tempo/Topaz wheel is close to right for a Mustang, but will put the wheel and tire in a little further than any other car's wheel from the list would.
Taurus was always 5 lug - 5x4.25" bolt pattern. As was the 89-up T-Bird and Cougar, Mark VIII, FWD Continential, Merc Sable, Windstar Van and Lincoln LS.
You don't NEED steel wheels, they are just usually more common and easier to find, and also cheaper. I think he's looking for a pair of wheels for a burnout contest.
