In putting my car back on the road, I bought an '87 Donor LX to pull the motor out of (wansn't the stock motor). This LX has the 16" pony wheels on it. I need to get some steel wheels to replace the pony's so I can sell them. But the junkyards I have talked to tell me that the "mustang wheels" are more expensive than everything else. So if I can get some 4-lug steel wheels from another car it'll save me some money. So...

What other cars have the same 4x4.5 bolt pattern?

/anybody wanna buy some pony wheels?

4x4.5? I know there all 4x108mm up till 93, which converts to 4x4.25, I know for sure a Mercury cougar/thunderbird 80-88 has the same size cause I owned one and bought custom drilled wheels for it in the past, also the same years escort as well but wouldnt match up right in the rear due to it being a FWD.

I saw those last cougars (FWD) with some Mustang turbines... Offset can't be correct though?

cougars and t-birds....Fox chassis of course.


Junkyard love to jack up the price of Mustang stuff. They equate Mustang = $$$$$


SO if i go to a boneyard and pull a part, i tell em it's off a cougar or lincoln Mark 7 or some other Fox body. If it's a Mustang specific part, i say i took it from a 4-banger

Fairmonts might too since they were the original Fox body.

Mustangs, Capris, Fairmonts, Zephyrs, Tbirds, Cougars, Mustang 2s and probably Pintos.

Some boat trailer rims may also fit...

There are even certain years that a Granada falls under the Fox Platform.

Because the offset/backspace for FWD cars won't work well on RWD cars like a Mustang
