    I think the other one would fit better.

    Just going by the pictures of both, I'd have to agree with John. But, I think you get could the correct backspacing for the other one, too.

    I didn't think about that....so actually with a little effort, they would both work.

    Then, maybe your first post should have read "Which of the Mustang GT rims will my fit my car." When you used the word "these," it gave the impression you being specifc to a choice of pictures that we assumed was mitakenly not posted. We just had to have a little fun with it. :Handshake

    I wonder if Dave ever caught on.:hmmm:

    Early Mustang wheels generally fit without adapters. Late model ones will require adapters. Mine are '07 "Silver Bullit" and have 1.5" adapters. For SN95 wheels I think you can get away with 1".

    Nope.
    I just figured they were Mustang GT wheels from any ware from 1966-1969, or 1983-2008?? Easy peasy.

    Yeah! Piece of cake!

    Don't forget that some years, there were multiple wheels to choose from!

    I personally like the '98/'99 5 star silver wheels.

    Well, 5 lugs didn't start until 95, so that rules out a great deal.
    (not counting early GTs)
    Anything from 95 and up has really deep backspacing, so just to bolt on... None fit.
    You gotta get the appropriate adapter for the wheels you choose. The backspacing varies, so no one adapter will work for all the 95 up rims. Since you need an adapter for any of them 95 and up, you could say none of them fit, or all of them fit. ;)
