SN95 vs. S197 rims
Ok, I'm sure this has been asked already......and I have found some threads relating to this (but without satisfactory info that I need): What differences am I looking at between a rim for a 98 GT and an 05 GT? I ask because I'm about to step up to 18" DD bullitts from my stock 17's....and my g/f would like to put my stock 17's onto her 98 GT vert. I heard a long time ago about there being a difference in the lug pattern? If anyone has info to this effect, or an idea of how difficult it'd be to get 05+ rims onto a 98, I'd appreciate it.

Lug pattern is the same but the offset is different, +45mm for the 05 and +24mm for the 98.

So I'm wondering if I'd need to use spacers on her 98 to make my 05 rims fit...
Anyone know if spacers are a good idea?

No, they'll fit(no rubbing as far as I know) but they'll look funny sitting further inward than proper SN95 outset wheels. In fact on Fox body 'Stangs('79-'93) the 17" S197 Bullitts are a better fit than the SN95 Bullitts, because of the offset not interfering with the smaller wheelwell openings. There's a New Edge V-6 around the corner from my house that has the '05 GT machined finished wheels
(non-Bullitt 17") and they fit fine, if somewhat inward for my taste(but not too bad). Just trial fit them this weekend. Good luck!

They should look fine. Last night, I was heading into the movie theatre and a red Sn95 caught my eye in the parkinglot. What did it was the fact that on the car were the same stock 17s that were on my 05 Mustang- and they looked great on it.
