5.0L (1979-1995) MustangTechnical discussions on 5.0 Liter Mustangs within. This does not include the 5.0 from the 2011 Mustang GT. That information is in the 2005-1011 section.
found a set of 17X9 bullitts w/ 275 wide tires which i don't think will fit the front. I also found a set of 03/04 cobra wheels and the guys doesn't know the width. I have lincoln rotors and 5 lug conversion.

I did a 5 lug conversion on my 1991 GT using Lincoln rotors...You will have to be carefull with your rims choices because of the front wheel bearings...I used '95 Cobra R wheels (will clear the front bearings), 17x9, Car lowered with 245's up front & 275's in the rear...No Problems...
275's wont fit the front, and on both of those wheels your going to need a spacer to clear the hub
i just picked up the cobra wheels. I guess there off a 99' cobra not a 03' and the tires on them are 245/40/r17. Hey primetime, will having upgraded front/rear disc brakes allow them to fit w/o the spacers. I can't wait to get these on, i hope i don't need spacers.
you'll need 94+ brakes to get away with not using a spacer on the front
yep, just found that out. They fit the back, but not the front. What size spacers do you have? Hopefully I can get the spacer locally, like at discount tire or something. thanks primetime!
I ran a 3/8" on mine, mash the bearing cap flat and modify the center cap.
when i put the wheel on the front the studs barely go in the holes to hold the wheel up. I wonder if i might need something close to 3/4" or 1"? thanks pro!
