is the bolt pattern for a mustang wheel the same as the CV? can get a set of bullitt wheels cheap just wanting to know if they will fit?

What year is your car and what year are the wheels?

chris521 · 08-12-2007, 16:12

my CV is a 97 and the wheels are a 2001.

They'll fit just fine.

I thought the bolt pattern was same but the offset was way diff? Like bulit wheels are a 30+mm offset and the CV and others are a 16mm+ offset or somethign in that ball park? Correc tme please i woudl aslo liek to pick a set of bullits if possible...

Go to crownvic.net and you will see many examples of CV's with Mustang wheels.

2002 and older Panthers are 0mm offset, where the mustang is +30mm offset. They will not fit right.

You're right. They don't fit at all.

I didn't say they wouldn't fit, I said they wouldn't fit right. Running differeent offset wheels than the car was designed changes a variable in the suspension geometry. Post as many pictures as you want, but the stock offset for a 2002 and older Panther is 0mm. Plus those wheels are the deep dish version and have less positive offset than the stock mustang bullet wheels.

30mm is about an inch. It doesn't do that much to the suspension geometry.
