Call them and see if they'll make you a set.

Have you tried JEGS?
Why are they not compatable?
Did they say?
Bolt pattern?
Answer - Adapter plates
Offset wrong?
Answer - Spacer adapters
Wrong rotation direction?
Answer - Install them on the other side on the vehicle.
They can be made to fit. Rodders have been doing it for years.

I put these on my '06 V6 and they look AWESOME. They combine old-school muscle look with modern tech look. The wide lips make them look perfect. The 9" wide wheels fill the wheel well (width wise) just right.

I don't think there's enough back spacing on those wheels, but it seems like somebody is usually making the vintage style wheels with the right look and the ability to fit on modern cars. I am more in favor of getting something that truly fits rather than using spacers or forcing a fit that really doesn't want to go because I have found that changing wheel offset, etc can have a big effect on my handling.

I've never been to a racetrack, but the last time I pulled an emergency turn at 80 when a deer bounded in front of me, I was thrilled how well my stock wheels and tires handled!

By all means, make a change. Many people, myself included, do make substantial changes. Most get great results. I find that if I start near the original design settings, I can take advantage of the millions of dollars the Wizards at Ford put into making Mustangs the great handling cars that they are.
