Default 18" 2006 Mustang gt wheels on 01 z28 - possible?

My stepdad took his stock 18" wheels off of his mustang and replaced them with some 20's. If I used a wheel adapter or something could I get those 18's to fit my car?

Why would you want to put mustang wheels on your Z28 in the first place?

yes, with the correct adapter it would work, but adapters would cost you around $400, why not just buy diffrent wheels that actualy fit at that point.. elmiate the possible danger from spacers.

there is a guy on here with the "bullitt" style wheels on it, looks good, pretty much looks like painted TT2s.. saw one in person also, looked good

gees! lol It was just a thought guys. But I do think they would look better on my car than his if they would fit right. I'm only thinkin about it because its free anyway. I'm gonna be stickin with my stock chromes for a while. They look pretty good to me.

I'm still thinking about getting some of those for my Camaro, I think they look pretty good on F-bodies, Mustang wheels or not. We all oogle over GMMG Camaros and Trans Ams with 17" chrome Cragers on them though.. Those wheels are nothing but "Bullitt" knockoffs ( read Mustang wheels ) with Crager centercaps on them. Borrowed a pic from another topic, Look here.

None the less, My point is the style used on the Ford is the same on that Fred Gibbs Camaro.
