BUT the only thing you will have to be picky about is your rim and tire sizes. I had 17x9 Cobra R's with 245 Fuzion Tire on there before with a +24mm offset and they rubbed in the back a little over bumps. the 01 Gt rims fit really well though because i think the offset is somewhere around +30mm

ill say this again..............get wheels for a 94-04 up front and05-up for the rear (gives you the correct backspace)

Can you match wheels that way? That would be my only concern.

i got mine from american muscle. most wheel manufacturers make the same wheel for different year cars. the only difference is the backspace and offset. you just wont be able to rotate your tires. thats not a big deal since most of us are running wider tires on the back anyway.

what is the offset on your rear rims blwn93gt? 45mm? i would be afraid that the wheel would hit the caliper. Thats alomst double the offset of anyother mutang wheel.

yes, however the 99-04 axles are too long for the fox.

hey blwn93gt. Are you running disks in the back or still drums? It seems like +44 will be too much offset and will hit the caliper. correct me if im wrong.
