    I currently own a 2003 Mustang GT with a couple mods but I have decided to get rid of my baby and go on to a more logical route with a new GP. I am stuck on the amazingly awesome orange color and have found an '05 wiht not a lot of miles for pretty cheap.

    anyways, I just recently bought some black 18x9 and 18x10 fr500's for the stang and im pretty sure i don't want to put them on it before i sell it. just kinda curious to see if they would fit on an 04+ Grand Prix GT2? i highly doubt they would but figured i would ask.

    also, what sites do all you gp owners use to get your aftermarket/oem parts for your cars?

    welcome. The wheels will bolt on, but like said above back spacing may be an issue

    alright, thanks everyone. the backspacing on the fronts is 5.85" and on the rears its 6.38". those work by any chance or is there anything i could do to make it work (i.e. buy wheel spacers?)

    umm...its either 5.94" or 5.72" I'm pretty sure its 5.72" (~151 mm if that helps?)

    what does it have to be for the '04+ Grand Prix GT's?

    no they wont work... the offset for 04-94 mustangs is around +24, you need... actually i dont know about the newer GP's... anyway i assume it's the same but who knows, but you need +35-42 mm offset for the 97-03 GP's but now that i think about it, idk about the 04+ but the only problem is going to be offset...

    ya i did some research and the offset on the 04+ GP's is the same as the 97-03's... if you would like to have them stick out hella far that would be fine, but you'd probably be flamed... a lot...

    can you post up some pics? i have a friend that has an 03 V6 and he's always looking for stuff... or u can email them to me @ baller4real3000@aim.com thanks man
