I recently purchased a set of Ford OEM 06 GT Mustang wheels with the hopes of using them on my 2002 GT. Is there a way to use the wheels by buying some sort of spacers or converters for the lugs? Or am I out of luck with these?

If I remember correctly, they will fit, but the offset is different. So they either stick out too much or there inset. If they are inset spacers will help...

But I could also be 100% wrong.

Ok. Right now I am sitting OEM Bullitts - 17x9's in the front and 17x10's in the back. These are 18x8's. Is that going to make a huge difference? Would you recommend buying spacers to bump them out a little?

I also have a set of Saleen replica rims from American Muscle. 18x9's and 18x10's

Well assuming they fit ok, its just going to be what you like best. You may be a bit more used to a wider look, so you may want spacers. It's all about preference though. The difference shouldn't be anything to crazy.

Thank you for the advice. I hope these fit without any problems. I really like the wheels and I want to use them. If anyone else has input I would like to hear it. Thanks!

Yes you will need spacers to make them fit correctly. they will be sunk in to far and may rub.

Where would I get spacers that would go on the 02 and adapt to the 06 wheels?

 

[F8L GT]

any where. the bolt patterns are the same so you just need the correct thickness

So basically something like these would work?

yes. but putting a thick wheel spacer on, you could have very little threads to hold on to so i would also suggest putting in longer wheel studs. You would want them to snap off turning a corner

Or these. The link posted above says the spacers do not work with stock wheels.

[PonyBoy02]

They are summer tires and they were very expensive.

 

[Pittbull]

you should sell them to me

 

[PonyBoy02]

The rims were $570 from AM. The wheels were over $200 each.
So all together I paid about $1400 for everything.
$600 isn't enough. Sorry.
