Yet another 'will it fit'
 

I swear someone needs to make a sticky of what wheels from other models will fit what year ranger haha

but onto my question.

will rims from a 1997 mustang GT fit onto my 2wd sport? or are the dust caps/backspacing going to be an issue...?

usually with any stang rim u need to run spacers iirc

'They will fit a spacer will be needed in the front to clear the dust cap but that is an easy fix, I can't remember but I'm thinking maybe a 1/4".

ah crap. I want to get rid of my rims lol there are so many mustang rims on kijiji...

Get a set and get some spacers. You only need spacers for the front.

spacers are like $150 for a pair, i just wanted the rims as a temp fix for the ugliness that mine are right now, and the fact that I have one flat tire and another with a slow leak from the valve stem, and two other flats in the past 4 weeks, so i need tires badly haha buuuut no more for new ones

I have some friends that work at a metal fab shop. I should see how much they would charge for some aluminum wheel spacers.

naw its ok

I'd sell em to you guys though that need em. If I can get them for a lot less than $150 I'd start making and selling them.

can you not take a bfh to the dust cap? Or is there something right behind it?

Sometimes you need the spacers to clear the hubs and not necessairly the dust shield.

the bolt that holds on my rotor? haha. oooooh well. I'll just have to deal with my ugly ass rims a bit longer...

I think you only need a small spacer... not one that has another set of studs on it. They're MUCH cheaper than $150 if you do!

that'd be pretty good, but i thought I saw somewhere I need a 1" spacer to run them...

Not 100% sure but I think it's the 05+ Mustang wheels that need the 1" spacer. By the way, there's a set of them on Kijiji w/ tires for $550.
