Smallest rim that will fit 99-04 Mustang?

[Mustang5L5]

What is the smallest wheel that will fit a 99-04 GT PBR front disk setup? Will 15" wheels clear? The spare tire is a 16" so it had me wondering if 16" was the minimum.

Also, what is the smallest rim that will clear a rear 11.65" Cobra disk setup??

anything less than 17" will just look down right ugly. even with the 17" wheels on the gt, the gap between the tire and the fender well is enormous... i think all gts and cobras should of come stock with 18" wheels or have a lower stance.

Good question. I'm stumpt. I know some V6's came with 15's but I don't know the size of their brakes.

Yea cars at the 1/4 mile track look real bad with 15" weld skinnies up front and 28" meats on 15" welds out back

Good question I have been considering 15" welds for the track to get the most out of my set up Ive seen them on GT's but if any one knows the backspacing that would be helpful

It's for my Fox and for the drag strip.

I have a full SN95 Cobra disk setup on my Fox, but i also have a 99-04 GT brake setup that i can swap on the front quickly for the track. It would only take 1 hour to swap the front brake setups.

Ideally i would like to fit some 15" wheels front and rear for the track only. Right now i am considering 15" V6 wheels since they are cheap and plentiful. But i need to know if 15" V6 wheels would fit a GT PBR front setup and a Cobra rear disk setup.

I agree with you that less than 17" looks like ass.

If memory serve me correctly you need to use a 3/8 spacer to get the wheels to clean on the front. I also think that you'll need a 5.5 backspace on the rears.

Is that with the GT 10" rear disk brakes???

for 15x10 welds you need a 6.5" BS and no spacer
for 15x8 welds you need a 5.5" BS with no spacer (both rear)
for 15x3.5 skinnies you need a 7/16 spacer, 3" studs and only 1 BS is available.

Remember to get shank style lugs
