    Will they fit? Yes.

    Is there a chance that you can break wheel studs or have vibrations? Yes.

    different stud pattern ours are 5x115 and the mustang are 5x114 IIRC. Guys run mustang wheels all of the time without breaking anything. I say do it.

    The ford pattern is 5 X 114.3
    The GM pattern is 5 x 115

    Theres a few threads on LS1tech where they don't reccomend using Ford lug pattern wheels on GMs, more specifically GXPs (Since they have their own section on LS1tech).

    Don't let that stop you. There are more guys who put mustang wheels on and have no issue with the studs breaking compared to those who MAY have broken them. I have had mustang wheels on multiple GP's and NEVER once broke a wheel stud, including the one I have now which is turbo and has a decent amount of launches and driving.

    I'm rocking the Mustang Bullitts and haven't had any vibrations or any other problems with them. I used to get a slight vibration with the stock wheels at 65 but these have none. As weird as that sounds. (I think one of the others threw a wheel weight)

    those wheels are going to be 17x9 +24mm offset.

    bet they stick out and look like crap because you're not gonna run more camber than stock. and you'll rub.

    I had my Cobra wheels on for only about 2 weeks, they rub in the back only on the right side when I hit bigger bumps. I do have pretty big tires on them and my cars on stock suspension. But I plan on rolling the quarters anyway

    eddie, the cobra wheels the OP is asking about are wider and lower offset than the ones you have.

    Go really low, pull and roll the fenders like a boss and do it. Flushness for the win lol

    They will bolt on but unless you really push for a wide stance they will be too low of an offset. Seen them on a Regal GSX and they looked great but alot of work went into the look.

    I would look for another option.
