Well I found a set at the local yard, haven't even asked how much yet...
I was hoping those who had used the mustang lx 87-9? turbine rims could shout out some pros or cons. Thanx, Mike.

The fronts will rub at the ball joints. You'll need to use an adapter, at least 1/2".

if you use those or the phone dial ones for the lx or early gts, you will have the same problem. i had to change the phone dials in the front to two 4in spares from an 88 gt and run 185/60/15 on the front. i am really not happy with this but its the only way to keep them from rubbing without spacers and longer studs.i could have probably done that but didnt. the 225/60/15s on the back look good though.
