Supposedly, the bolt pattern is the same, but the offset is wrong.

I've seen '05 GT wheels on earlier model cars recently. The offset is different, but may not be enough to be an issue. The lug pattern (5-4 1/4) is very common. It may require a small wheel spacer, but I'm not certain. I've though about the new 18" polished Bullitt style wheels...pretty sharp! :borg:

I recently saw a 99-04 Stang at the gas station which had the 05 wheels.
It looked OK, but I don't now if it had spacers or?

I have seen an 05 with Cobra wheels yeah no good on the car the offsets wrong

But the reverse MIGHT be OK.
99-04 wheels on an 05 = sounds like a No.

05-06 wheels on a 99-04 = Maybe?
The one I saw looked ok, but, like I said,
I don't know if it had spacers or?

05/06 wheels are 45 MM offset. Our stock wheels are 30 MM offset. So the 05/06 stock wheels "go in" 15MM (over 1/2") more than our stock wheels.

So if you don't like the looks of our stock 17X8's, you woule hate the 05/06 wheels on our cars.

However, have seen our wheels on them, and they sit out about 1/2" and look good.
