Default Wheel help

Previously posted in V6 application. I didn't see this category.

I used to have an 06 GT and loved the wheels, sadly I had to get rid of the car. I recently got a 97 vert v6 and desperately needs new rims along with tires. Can I fit the 05+ rims on my car? Thanks

The bolt pattern is the same,but the off-set of your '97 will be about 1/2' further inward.

What are the dimensions of the wheels you want to install?
What is the tire size on said wheel? (all three numbers please)

I don't see aproblemwitheither of those wheels on a '97 Stang. You could run 9' wheel with a 275 on your ride, so don't forsee any rubbing issues.

Can you test fit one and see if it is farther outward/inward than your existing?

I can't test fit anytime soon.
The wheels are a good deal however, it is 2 hours away.
The car is also in the shop getting a state inspection, alignment and the gas tanked fixed.
