They will fit. I put my stock tires/wheels on my daughter's '03 V6 stang. But, when the wheels are cranked full turn, they rub the plastic inside the fender well slightly. Other than that they work fine.

i hope you bought the whole wheel. a rim won't do you much good without the center section. LOL. a rim is the outer edge where the bead seats. a wheel includes a rim and center section.

Thank you, Captain Dictionary! Perhaps you could also enlighten us on the meaning of the term "common usage." [sm=sigh.gif]

i guess "rim" is "common usage" is you are a 'boy racer" not an "old motorhead" like myself at 58 years and over 125 hot rods passing thru my hands. LOL.

Ford made NO changes in the suspension components of the 06.

Everything that fits / works on an 05 will fit on an 06.

With one exception... the 06 V6 will have a retro grlil option which of course would affect any aftermarket grill mods from an 05.

Not sure what having fondled a bunch of cars has to do with this, but if I were you, I'd take a look at my own writing before judging the writing of others.

I'd also find out more about someone before attempting to label them. I doubt that I fit most folks' definition of "boy racer."
