Lightning 2004 18inch Wheels on a 2002 Mustang?

[egthareal]

Hi, my buddy just bought a new 2004 Ford Lighting he has the stock 18" alloys on there. He wants 22"s and offered me his stock for super cheap. Curious if they will fit my 2002 V6 Stang? They are both 5lug. I know on trucks the wheels are often alot wider especially specialty trucks like the lightning. Can anyone help?

Here's the specs from fords website for the lightning wheels:
18 x 9.5-in., five-spoke cast aluminum-alloy, painted surface with locking lug nuts
Tires: Goodyear™ Eagle F1-GS™, 295/45ZR-18,

Further research on my show this GT Rousch works with the wheels http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2486296558&category=6236 But would the V6? Think there would be scraping?

wheels might fit, not sure bout the tires

 

[egthareal]

Why don't you think the tires would fit -- too wide?

Anyone have more advice on this one?

In the rear saleen uses 18x10 295 45 tires so the rear is fine in the front 265 40. And I have seen Mustangs with 20" rims lowerd they did not complain about any rubbing. And they did not bend the fenderwell lip back or anything. ?Anybody?

Those wheels probably weigh a ton each

Are they even the same bolt pattern??

Seeing as i've never heard of anyone using Lightning rims, i don't think the offset and bolt pattern will work

 

[CANTONRACER]

I don't think the bolt pattern is even close.

I don't think the bolt pattern is even close.

why would your friend put 22's on a lightning. kick him in his jewels for even thinking about it

They look pretty cool...but they ride pretty stiff to begin with.
