Default Need Opinions..

Ok, just before I got the SS I bought some new rims for the GT. They are pretty nice and I was wondering what they would look like on the SS, I know they are a "mustang" wheel but they don't really look like it. Does anybody make adapters to fit mustang bolt patterns on F-Bods and vis versa, here they are, let me know what you guys think.

Yes there are adaptors. Cost about $250 for all 4. You'll want one that goes from 5X4.75 to 5x4.5. Do a search to find someone that sells them or look on ebay.

only other thing you gotta worry about is the backspacing. you dont want to get these wheels on the car and have them poke out . but i think they look pretty nice. something about that dish on that wheel does it.

I bet they would look good, I have seen pics of a set of Cobras R on a Lt1 Trans Am, so it can be done with spacers

Nope, no spacers. You can acually buy the 95 cobra r style wheel with the chevy bolt pattern.
