Default newb w/non typical 5 lug conv. question

Hi all, this is my 1st post here so please be nice. I am currently planning a five lug conversion using mark rotors and ranger axles (already have the parts). I know my wheel selection will be limited.I can get a really good deal on ford OEM 17" "bullit" style wheels from an 07 GT, will these wheels work with the conversion parts I am using? Will I need spacers and if so what size?Are there any issues I need to be aware of to get the wheels to fit? I know there are a ton of conversion posts and some really good tech articles but I really cant find my specific question answered anywhere. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Oh, and what size tire would be the best fit with no rubbing issues?

what year of mark fronts are you using? I have 85/86 mark fronts on mine. The bullit wheels should bolt up but you may have an issue with the dust cap being to deep and youmost likelynot beable to fit a center cap.
I used 94 5 spoke GT ponies on mine with no problems but when I switched to the 17" 96 wheels I had to customize the center caps to clear. I am using a 5/16" spacer on the front and even with that it is not enough to clear the dust cap.

Thanks for the info, I currently have 85-86 mark rotors but I can get new ones if I have to. If there are any that will work that is. Anyone here that has actually combined these parts and put bullit wheels on the car?
