16 or 17" Mustang gt cobra rims on Aerostar?

Has anyone ever seen this or know if they will fit? I know bolt pattern is the same but what about clearance for the front inner suspension components.
thanks

I've seen that 15's fit in other threads. Tirerack also even claims 18's will fit. Your call there, however.

I have 15" off of a Lincoln Town Car 215/70-15 tires. They have worn perfectly for a year. Also the Lincoln Mark VII have the exact offset and come in 16" that work even better ,just hard to get .

Optional wheels

I have 15"x7" off of a Bronco II with 215-65x15's (BFG Traction T/A) They are perfect for the wheel well size on a AWD, and have chugged through 15" of snow. A very good comprimise between traction and wear and the same od as the OEM 195-75 14's.

15" wheels

I installed Ranger 15x6 steel rims with Yokohama avid touriers [215/65-15]. The rims look great with a deep dish look and only cost $35 apiece from a tire and rim shop. The Yokos cost $48 apiece for Tire Rack. 80,000 mile tire.

Yes...I would also love to see pictures. I am also currently looking for 15" (mabey 16") wheels for my Aerostar to replace the odd-ball 14 inchers.

I also found a site with wheels with a 5x114.3 bolt pattern. There are more sites out there though...

ttt, I'd really like to see some pics also...since I've considered replacing my stockers with 'Stang rims and tires. I have some pretty cool looking covers on it now (pics in my gallery).

Smile I just order a set with the right offset

I hope to get my 17" wheels this week and will post pictures on my all black AWD 95 Aerostar with the chrome wheels.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like you can sort on anything but the year.
