You know those great looking split 5 spoke wheels that are stock on the 6 cyl '05 Stang? The specs are 16 x7, 5 x 4.5 in pattern, 39mm offset, 2.5 in center hole (whats this?). I need to be certain that they will fit before I commit. Thanks!

Thanks MMatt66. I know Reen's rear susp is not stock, but I wonder about the front. I'll ask him. It looks excellent in my opinion.

I have 1.25" spacers all the way around on mine... looks great in my opinion and reen and one other guy suggested the 1.25's over their 1.00's.

So, Red5oh, 3 questions: 1. you have stock suspention, etc, with 1.25 inch spacers behind the '05 wheels. Correct? 2. I have never used spacers before and assume that they are bolted on using the stock wheel studs and the spacers therefore have their own studs to mount the wheel? 3. Are spacers safe for autocross stresses? Thanks.

I have global west uppers, stock lowers, granada spindles and stock power steering. I also have 1" lowering springs.

Yes, they bolt on to the originals, then you bolt the wheels up. Mine are aluminum so I am not sure about the stresses of autocrossing. You might want steel ones for that... not sure.

I think I might have pics on the cardomain site, but if not, I will get you pics of the fronts. Let me know.
