Default old school aftermarket rims?

hey everyone,been away awhile,i was wondering if i ordered a set of rims for my 03 monte,could i place the order for an 05 mustang in stock sizing?
i know im dealing with the aftermarket so it could be a gamble on fitment.
ive read several post that say the stock bullit style mustang rims will bolt on to my monte,is this true?
i want to put a set of crager wheels on my monte,but the wheels i want are only made for rwd.
any help would be great. thanx.

as long as the offset matches your factory wheels, the mustang wheels wil bolt right up. its also easyer if you get a set that matches the size of your stock wheels if possible, to make finding the right tire size easyer.

having RWD or FWD makes no differance unless you want to do "biggs 'n littles"

my persona wheel choice would be the mustang knock off wheels ( AKA "sport torque") jeg's makes. they run about $100 apice and look really nice.

I've got the same issue, mine are junk (pitted) and I want to replace them with exactly the same wheels I already have, but can't seem to find what will work? mustang billit wheels are 114.3 x 5 and monte wheels are 115 x 5! I know the mustang wheels will work, but I'm not sure on the offset issues?

you should buy a set of those jegs wheels chris. i'll be glad to take your old ones off your hands too

the only time i would think the offset would really come into play is if its really far from stock. yours are fine chris.

well i do know the mustang rims will fit,i took one off of my new girlfriends car and it fit like a glove,i would like to run a 245/55/17 allthe way around.i didnt see where there would be any clearence issues but what i would like to know is how much backspace can i have.i like to see some wheel lip,i dont really care for the flat wheel front wheel drive look.
