Even if they will, which I doubt they wont, don't do it... [sm=chairshot.gif]

see no studs just a centralized hub assembly you would have to convert your car over tho that for them to work ($$$$$$$$$)

Absolutley, it can be done...

More specifically:

http://www.mustang50magazine.com/fea.../photo_10.html

The signature element of Joe's 5.0 is its elegantly sculpted Ferrari 360Modena wheels. They span a relatively narrow 18x7 inches in front and amore useful 18x10 in back because the mid-engine Italian speedsterdoesn't need as much front grip as a Mustang. Incredibly, given thesmall Ferrari wheel-stud diameter, accidentally close metric boltpattern, and fortuitous offsets, Joe was able to make the wheels fitwith nothing more than a slightly offset rebore of the bolt holes. Hehas a set of Cobra R wheels and gumballs for track day, but has yet tofit them. Can you imagine whipping a car this gorgeous at the roadracing course?

Yeah, and there are certainly many other options for wheels, even just from the Ferrari 360. I imagine some other models use the same bolt pattern, as well.

Yeah, that would be slightly more difficult
