Mustang Wheels?

I am waiting for my registration on a couple of mustang sites so I will ask here as well.

I have a 2001 mustang gt. What year did the wheel bolt pattern change? I.e. will wheels from an early or mid 90's stang fit mine?

I am looking of a set of wheels and snow tires to throw on.

Along those lines, any idea if the 15" mustang wheels will fit? Have my eye on a set on ebay.

1994 up Mustang wheels should fit. 1979-1993 were 4 lug {except SVO and Cobra}. No fit there.

Thanks -
My biggest concern is that they will be too small to fit around the brake calipers. All is still stock, but not sure how much clearance is needed.

If you want rims just to have for in the winter you should look for some rims from a V6 car. I "think" the rims were a little narrower which would be better for skinny snow tires.

Anything off a fox body before '93 were 4 lug cept maybe the '93 cobra's I believe had 5 lug. Some do 5 lug conversions, so they might be off one of those. I know the drag strip guys run 15" weld draglights. Your link isn't working so I can't look. You may check this out while you waiting on your registration. corral wheel and tire
