So you want black wheels for your Cuda?

If so, I cannot tell you the back-space/off-set and seems to be what you need. I can tell you that most cars of that era ran a zero off-set and 7" wheels at most.

What are the dimensions of the Stang wheels you found that fit? If the wheels fit over the studs correctly, than you have a 5x4.5" bolt pattern but NEED to confirm what width will fit prior to buying wheels. Head over to RS Racing and look at their back-space measuring page to compare your stock wheels to the Mustang ones.

How wide is the original wheel?
How wide is the Stang wheel?

for my 04 GT I really like the stock wheels (not sure how to describe them the starfish looking ones) but I want to run a 275 wheel out back and keep 245 up front...is that possible/safe?
