will it fit

jem02 · April 16th, 2007, 06:41 PM

will the stock pirellis off a 05 mustang Gt fit a 17x8 wheel for a 1999-2004 mustang.

HMUSN · April 16th, 2007, 06:42 PM

as long at the 05 has a 17 inch rim YES.

02ponypackage · April 16th, 2007, 07:54 PM

i heard there was some problems with the front fitting without rubbing....unless it was the 18s from the 05+

silver stang · April 16th, 2007, 07:59 PM

I heard you need to put wheel spacers in inorder to use 05+ rims

02ponypackage · April 16th, 2007, 08:00 PM

yup ^ but then ive talked to a few people around here who have it and they said they dont have a problem...but they had the 16 inch wheel... so the spacer is most likely for the 17s and 18s

i am assuming he is talking about tires... not the wheels...
pirelli is a brand of tire

02ponypackage · April 16th, 2007, 08:02 PM

oh...lol well if the stock wheel is the same size which im sure it is then you shouldnt have any problems

Onemanzu · April 16th, 2007, 08:02 PM

yea ... thats what i got... the wheels just need to be the same...

you can't put 17 inch wheels on a 16 inch rim thats like a square in a round hole

Mine are the 16's and NO you do not need a spacer but the rims will look like they are hiding from the road. I used a 1.25 inch in the back.

Onemanzu · April 16th, 2007, 11:17 PM

im thinking about a spacer in the back just cuase they are so recessed its nuts... i still love them tho

turp · April 16th, 2007, 11:18 PM

IMO the spacer makes it handle alot better. Less roll in the turns.

Onemanzu · April 16th, 2007, 11:19 PM

i don't turn... thats not what muscle cars where built to do

Suit yourself I like not having the tires break loose everytime I get on it around a corner.

Onemanzu · April 16th, 2007, 11:23 PM

i don't have posi so only one gets loose and it looks funny/weak

I think they are kinda squirlly though but with that extra couple of inches in width in the rear it helps a little

Onemanzu · April 16th, 2007, 11:29 PM

yea... i might do that after i get my car all good and taken care of... i still need to put a lot of money into it to make it what i expect from it
