Default 114.3 rims, fit the 6th gen Montes ???

Hey guys, I read in a post that the 114.3 wheels will fit on the 6th Gen Montes, I just want to make sure before I buy a set.... I want to buy the 5spoke wheels from a Mustang, (love the way they look) but want to just make sure that the 114.3 wheels will work. Also seen other front wheel drive 114.3 wheels for sale that I' just may buy IF the 114.3 fits.. Thanks a ton... Mjc....

Depends who you ask. They do "fit" ..as in you can bolt them up. Some will tell you not to run them because it isn't an exact fit, but others will tell you there is hardly a difference (fractions of a mm) and it doesn't matter.

There are multiple members here that run mustang rims in his Monte. It's been done before.

As Justin mentioned, it depends on who you ask lol. Several people have used the 5x114.3 on their 6th Gens with no issues. Others will strongly advise against it.

If I were buying new wheels, I would not buy anything that isn't 5x115.

I heard that if you use spacers of some type that you will be fine. I think that may help, put some spacers on, now what size, I am the wrong person to ask...sorry. But I will love some Mustang wheels to put on my Monte, the ones off the GT 5.0

the gp have saleen wheels and the monte have the bullitt wheels. they are +36 offset 18x9 255/45/18. the 36 offset been discontinued. as you can see they fit beautiful. i done burn out and ran at the track and had no problem. DO NOT add spacers does not need it. 9" wide is the widest you want to go..any wider it will stick out too much and looks like a 4x4.

how many times does this need to be talked about........... YES, they will fit, but there are members that will say "don't do it" I've had them on both Montes with zero issues............

I know you've probably been asked this question a million times but can you provide me with the website you purchased the bullitt wheels?!
