Default 15 inch rims on a 1998 GT?

I thought I would be smart and purchassed a full set of 15 inch Mustang rims from I think a 1999. I have a 1998 GT with 17 inch rims now and well I have yet to try them on. Anybody know if they will/will not fit? I know I should go out in the rain and try them on but its too darn wet n cold.

you are replacing 17's with 15's, you do know that 15's are incredibly small and will look rediculous right???

Your car is going to look like a sixer and it's going to handle even worse.

Going to a 15" rim doesnt make a difference in tire height. Its your tire on the rim that makes the differance. Get the same size tire but for a 15" rim and you will be fine.

I have a set of 17"rims for summer and right now i have 15"rim tires with winter tires. Yes it looks more fugly than the 17's but i got the tires and rims for free.

What the hell Mustang had 15s from the factory? V6s had 16s, GTs had 17s didn't they?
