Default Bolt pattern

Im looking for rims for the mustang. no, not good ones, to mount winter tires on[>:]. But i cant find any 94-up muistangs in the junkyards or the rims for them for sale. what other vehicles came with the same bolt pattern? my car has the 16 inches, but if i found 15's would they fit?(yea, the speedo would be off then).

Id imagine any RWD American CAR would have the same bolt pattern. So try crown vics, lincoln mark 7, grand marquis, etc, etc. And your speedo doesnt have to be off when you change rim diameter. YOu just have to raise the profile. So if you have lets say a 235/45/17 and you wanted to go with 16's you would get a 235/55/16 or a 225/60/15. That would be .01% differnce in your speedo. I think the ratio is: -1" rim diamter, +10 to profile - as long as width stays the same.

the Ford bolt pattern is 5x4.5 on every Ford car except for the 89-97 T-Bird that used the GM pattern of 5x4.25
