    2005 Mustang Rims???

    Does anyone know the specs of the new 2005 Mustang rims?
    I am just curious to know if they will fit our Marauders.
    Because if they do that will mean we will have more rim options in the future when the aftermarket starts producing wheels for the 2005 and up Mustangs.

    Just wondering.

    That's what I thought.

    I believe the back spacing/offset is different on "2004 and below" mustang wheels, and will cause them to stick out about an inch when installed on a Marauder or 2003 and newer crown vic.
    And if you were to try and put Marauder wheels on a 2004 mustang or a 2002 and earlier crown vic you will need "spacers" to make the wheels fit correctly.

    I am just curious what the spec on the new redesigned "2005" mustang wheels are to see if they are different then the "2004 and earlier" wheels.

    As for recalibartion, I would think that as long as you do not change the overall total wheel and tire height it would not be needed.
