Title: Will 4 lug Fox Mustang wheels swap???
Post by: 69GT on May 09, 2005, 02:03:27 AM

Ok I have seen pics of Pintos sporting what looks like regular 15" 10 hole rims off the 85-93 Fox Stangs with 4-lug wheels. Do they swap right on or do you need spacers and such. Any bad experiances? I was thinking of putting the 15" Turbines from the 87-90 GTs on my Pinto but if it's a hassle I'll find something else.
Thanks

I have the turbines on the back of my 73 waone and they work great with 215 60's . I had a whole set on my 80 hatchback but the fronts rubbed a little when turning even with 1/4 inch spacers.

I had the 10 holes on mine for a bit. I had to use about a 1/2 inch spacer on the front and a 1/4 inch on the back.Then i found a set of Sallen 15x7,s at a good price and then put 205x50x15 tire's on them.They bolted right on and with out any spacers.And the best part is that they do not rub anywhere,even when turning.Plus they make the car look great.
