Default I have the Drum 5 lug conversion on my 90 GT

I have the drum 5 lug conversion on my 1990 Mustang GT. The 5-lug was installed when I got the car. Currently it has the 1996 Mustang GT 16" wheels installed. I was curious to know if you guys/gals know what wheels will and will not fit this setup? I was looking into the 03 Mach I 17" wheels and was curious if these and some others would fit or not. Also what Tire size would I use?

Thanks

drums in the back wont effect what wheel choices you have. (I have drums out back) What conversion is up front? SVO? SN95? 1996+? Easy way to tell is if the hub assembly and rotors are seperate then best bet its a 94 and up. If its all one piece like what came stock then those 2003 wheels will not fit.

if you have 94+ brakes there will be a bracket that the brake pads slide into, unlike older brakes where the pads slide onto the caliper

ohh ok, gotcha! I will check that out. I may take a picture for you all to see so we can make sure. Wouldn't the 03 wheels be the same bolt patter and backspacing as the 96 GT wheels currently on it? thanks
