    i have an 88 mustang gt junker that im stripping for parts, and it has 5 star pony wheels (4 lug) i can get adapters for 4x4.5 - 4x4.25 with 1" - 1.25" spacer. idk what the backspace is on my pony wheels and it's to cold to go out and take one off. does anyone know what the backspace is. and if they'l fit with any tires at all?

    If spacers are involved I would say it is not worth the effort. Just get wheels that fit to begin with.

    that would probly work. those wheels have the mustang emblem on them and thats not what your car is.

    I think the offset is wrong...and the wheel spacers will really make the offset worng.
