Does anyone know if Pro Stars or such will fit on a 2005+ Mustang? I'm guessing that calipers will have to be ground and spacers are needed, similar to F-bodies.

The guys at Sutton said that most 15's won't fit in back unless you relocate the shocks. I think they now run Bogarts.

 

If you're in the area, stop by the house and you can test fit my Weld XP's. They are dual-lug pattern, and fit the F-body without any grinding at all. If they fit, I'll let you borrow 'em to baseline the car (26x10.5 ET streets, 165mm VW tires).

 

hmmmm, might have to try those out Brian. It could be fun abusing a stock GT on tires

 

The issue is that the shock mounts are on the outer edge, and it's hard to find a wheel that will fit without relocating the shocks inward.

I've seen an 05 GT with earlier gen Cobra 17's on it, they stuck out a bit, kind of like Centerlines on a LS1 F-Body.

 

From what I have researched, to fit 15" wheels, you will need to grind the calipers and relocate the swaybar. XP's have shown to fit with no modifications, as have Bogarts. There is a huge thread about it on modularfords.com, but I think that is the jist of it.

I plan on buying som 17x9s and running 275/40/17 ET Street radials. The offsets on the sn95 5-lugs are a bit less so the wheels will sit almost flush with the outer fender if not out a bit. For track only wheels, I don't really care, but I wouldn't run them all the time.

Hope that helps.

 

We run Bogarts on our 05 mustang project car.http://www.bmrfabrication.com/ProjectY91.htm We have 325/50/15 Mickey Thompsons on a 10 inch rim fit sweet!!!!

 

We put some '96 waffle wheels with ET streets on Larry's car and you can tell the wheel needed more backspacing. 15x8 wheels with 5.5 BS could probably stand to have a 6" BS instead.

 

Got pictures? And what kinda 60's was he cutting?

 

Chuck !!! Glad to see ya over here man
