does anyone know if a set of torque thrust wheels off of a 2003 mustang work on the 2008 bolt patters?

the bolt pattern is right, but the backspacing is off. your wheels will probably stick out a little bit.

They will fit, but they will stick out.

how much are we talkin about? cause 1/4 inch or less i dont think would look too bad with the drop

not sure how far they would stick out, but generally you do not want to screw with the offsets too much when upgrading the rims on your car.... I would get something made with the offsets for the S197 if I were you.

I agree, but it all depends on the amount they stick out, and if you can drive it without problems...:yes

I think they typically sit about 1/2-3/4" further than wheels made for the S197.

ya that might rub up front

i agree, thats too wide. i was just wonderin because i found a great on a set with brand new tires and i was just curioue. thanks guys

Will look like ass both front and rear. Buy the set, keep the tires sell the wheels. Then order something proper for the the s197's spacing..

well what's the backspacing on the wheels you're looking at? never know, it might be close but still stay within the fenderwells.

 

[prostrtstang]

i think they are just the standard backspacing for that car., but thanks for your inputs and i will do some further research on it
