For that cost,you could do a 5 lug swap on your car the right way,and,with the adapters,I believe you'll need a different offset of wheels to compensate for the adapter's thickness.Forget the adapters and just do the 5 lug swap if 5 lug wheels are what you want.

my wheels are for a Stang.Like stated above,the Fox Mustang shares the Fox Thunderbird/Cougar lug pattern and are a direct swap.

Yeah for what I will have to spend for new tires and wheels, the ones like Vinnie has are quite reasonable and look the best!  I have not found anything I like better with the factory turbines coming in second.

I agree.LOL. I got mine for a great deal,and they were aired up and literally ready to bolt on when they got to the door.

I meant to ask you was there any modifications for them to fit? Issues with offset or any rubbing to be aware of? Or will the bolt right up with no issues?
