Will these wheels fit?

Anyone know if these will bolt up to an 85 GS with LSD and rear disk brakes?

i had some similar to those on my red car with gsl-se suspension, they looked stupid and were sticking out of the fenders, and i think the holes need to be enlarged a little for mustang bolt pattern to work

So you don't think they would be worth the effort? Do they have enough reverse inset that they stick out that much? I know they can look sharp polished out nice. Sounds like it would be pretty costly to have the holes machined out.

I actually have a set of those made for the rare 4x110mm bolt pattern I've been trying to sell, but nobody seemed interested. They're 13x5.5" slotted mags, info here:

Still have both.

OK, thanks for the info Greg. A person can always learn from the experiences of someone else. Do you know of any other stock wheels that will bolt up to mine? Since I have the LSD with rear disk brakes on a GS, will this matter when I am looking around?

our cars have a demented bolt pattern, there are a few companys that make aftermarket rims to fit our pattern (pricey) your better off swapping to gsl-se suspension/rearend, your rim choices will be equivelint to that of a civic

Pep Boys carry a spoke mag that has the universal bolt pattern. They are a gunmetal gray. My car is red so they wouldn't look too bad. I think I can get them in the 14" or 15". They looked them up and I'm pretty sure they have the 110 pattern available.

i can almost guarantee you they wont fit, the "universal" 4 lug parrtern consists of 4 on 4 1/2 (gsl-se pattern) and 4 x 100 (most hondas)

the 4 x 110 is not common at all

OK, thx for the info Greg. Have a great evening. I have a 12a 6-port, how difficult would it be to turbo it?

A said, mustang offset is around 20 mm, where GSL-SE is 38mm stock, so they'll stick out half inch plus too far. Second mustangs had 4x4.25" aka 4x108mm like the new focus. This is close to the right patter, but without redrilling or ovaling to 4x110mm you're just going to break stuff.

If you want the correct bolt pattern (4x110mm) and offset buy my wheels. I'll even entertain offers as they are just sitting around right now. Mike
