The rear ones will clear but look a little funny. But the front ones wont. I tried some bullets on my 69 Mach 1 and discovered this. The backspacing on newer Mustangs is different than that of the 60's and early 70's. You would need some spacers. Mustangs Unlimited as well as other places carry the spacer kit that you need to make them work.

4.5 to 4.75 is Back Spacing you want for an adaptorless fit.

Check out the chart in the sig.
