I am wondering if 15" rims from last generation mustangs will fit over the large front brakes of the new gen stangs..
I would like to use the 15" rims from my 99 mustang for either drag oprions or winter tires..
Anyone try this fit yet?..
Thanks

Yes 15" wheels fit but it takes either Bogarts (expensive) or Weld XP's for the rear and standard 15x3.5" Welds up front with a wheel spacer. With the Weld XP's on the rear you still will need to do some grinding on the calipers and you will need to relocate the rear swaybar up towards the axle.

Thx Short Bus, but I should clarify that I want to use my factory made 15" 99 mustnag rims, not drag skinnies up front. (for winter tire combo) I'm thinking I may still need to "modify" the calibers for this though..
Mabey I should just store the mare and buy a heap for winter..

just to let you know,you don't have to grind the calipers on the weld xp's i had 15x9 on my 05 gt fit with no mods and 28.10.5 et drag.tire stuck out a little 15x10 weld xp you would have to relocate the sway bar,if you can find weld xp's with 15x9 or 15x10 with 6.6 or 7.0 back space that would fit.

You won't be able to use those wheels, you would need at a minimum a set of 16" wheels (I am sure you could pick up a set of '05+ 6cyl wheels cheap) even with the 16" wheels you will need to relocate your sway bar. Plus the offset is different on the older stangs.

That's the first I've heard that, everyone I know that has done XPs has ground the corners of the calipers down.
