To day my friend and i decided to put his 03 Mach1 rims on my 05 GT. We were very suprized to see the fit fine no rubbing or anything what do people mean that they need a 1" spacer if I would of had a 1" spacer they would have stuck out past the car. We didnt try the fronts but they looked like they would fit also with no problems. BTW they looked bad ass

i dont know who told you that you would need a spacer.....maybe if you were putting the 05 rims on the 03. the 03 has 24mm offest, the 05 has 45mm offest. the 03 rims should stick out of the wheelwell slightly on the 05. did you check that?

yes I did check it to see if the tires stick out but, they did'nt. They fit fine on the car they don't stick out past the body at all

There are not pics because I don't know how to put them up and I did'nt have my camera I will do it again soon to prove it when if figure out how to put up pics
