Our friends at the popular Web site www.americanmuscle.com seem to have the latest in wheel styles for mustangs. The majority of the company’s offerings carry the extra hole, so ’79-’93 owners might want to consider making the changes to five-lugs before shopping here. As demonstrated on our ‘live model’ in the photo, however, some wheels that may have been made for new Mustangs look pretty good on a Fox.
We tried these Shelby GT500 replica mustang wheels on Jose Ybarra’s ’89 coupe to make sure they’d fit on our T-top coupe project car, which was in the body shop at the time. Jose’s car is a great example of why converting a Fox mustang’s rolling hardware to 5-lugs is the thing to do.
