From a current ebay auction for a 1979 RX-7 with a V8:

"...The wheels are 4 x 4.25 4 bolt pattern, same as a pre 1990 mustang. 16 inch wheels in the rear, 245/50/16"s tires and the fronts are 205/55/15's. The fronts are like new very low mileage the rear tires are Pirelli and have a few nicks and cuts on the tread but are overall very good. The wheels are american racing alluminum and I have the centers although not shown in the pics..."

Mustang wheels on a 1st gen? Is there something here?

ebay item here

 

I thought late 80's mustangs were 4 x 100?

 

it has adapters on the front and the back is a completly different rear end read it closly and this will stick out.

They would fit the front if the front adaptors were removed

nope 4x4.25 same as the older ford escorts

 

Wow, what a deal on that car.

I'm tempted to drop the 3500 for the buy it now. True, the paint is ****, the carpet needs some serious work, and the engine/tranny aren't there, but what a stereo!!!

Freaking phenomenal what some people expect...
