18" Mustang Wheels on my Windstar

As some of you know my daily driver is a '96 Ford Windstar.

Earlier this year I got this crazy idea to put Mustang wheels on it for the summer, and put winter tires on my factory wheels for the winter.

Bought some take-offs and a set of wheel adapters... After a buncha headaches everything worked out.

Anyway, it warmed up today so I quickly through them on for a test fit and drive. Everything works perfectly!





Yes I need to paint the calipers.

Very nice look! When you're painting, you may want to brush black-out that down standing flange on the rocker panel. Just a thought.

You need wheel adapters to convert the bolt pattern to the Mustang bolt pattern. I went with hub-centric and wheel-centric ones. Was about $300 for a set of 4.

Re: 18" Mustang Wheels on my Windstar

Sorry to bump an old thread. I ended up selling my Windstar in March. The wheel adapters that I had made are for sale. If you want to do what I did and put Mustang wheels (or any 5x114.3 wheel) on your Windstar, here's your chance. The adapters are basically brand new. I put them on mid winter for a test fit and to take the pictures I posted above, then took them back off. Was going to use them in the summer, but ended up selling the Windstar.

Bump in case anyone wants to run 5x114.3 wheels.
