Will Mustang 17" Bullit rims fit on 2K2??

Anyone know if the 17" Bullit rims (typically on a Mustang) with 245 Kuhmo's would fit on a 2K2 Max? Specifically, the bolt pattern (I think they are both 4.5") and if there would be wheel scrape in the well.

Thanks,
Shaydz

HAHAHA!
No, but he'll let me run them Friday if they'll fit.
MMMMmmm, sticky wide tires (lighter than ours).
Oh, to have no wheel spin at launch!

You know he got the whole set balanced and shipped for $1050.

Great price.

Yeah they will fit. The 245 width shouldn't be a problem

I think these have a 5.72" offset and the tire's are 245-45 ZR17. Do you know if this will work on the 2K2?

Uh... they will fit. Offset is about 30-32mm. Ford happens to use alot of neg offset(relatively) in order to clear the bigger brakes now required on these muscle cars. I bet your C5 even has offsets in the mid-20s or so. The Ford Cobra R 17x9 and 18x9s use about a 24mm offset.

Here's my car w/ the 17x8 GT rims. Looks like they fit to me?

Pretty sweet! I love the 18" cobras myself from the 1998 era. If I could make those work, I'd buy them in a hearbeat. Had them on my old T-bird. Very nice.
