As long as the wheels arent off a new mustang they should work the newer mustangs have a wierd offsetand will throw the wheels way under the car and they may hit the suspension when turning hard.

Re: Bolt Pattern

Mustang wheels won't fit without an adapter. Tbirds are 5X4.25. Mustangs are 5X4.50.

Re: Bolt Pattern

The fox bodies had 4X4.25 bolt patterns so Mustang wheels would fit on '88 Tbirds and older. In '89 the Tbird went to 5X4.25 with the MN12 platform. Not sure what year the Mustang quit being a fox body and went to the SN95 platform but that's when they went to the 5X4.50 wheel pattern.
