hmmm i can get them for 300 bucks... if 114.3 is no problem you think regular mustang spacers would fit on my hubs?

Mustang wheels fit, so mustang spacers should also. I'd just find a set of '99-04's like that with the offset very similar to our stock xlaces. My dad has some of those bullitts in chrome on his '92 Mustang(converted to 5 lug, so it has the 5x114.3). I might take some pictures of his wheels on one of my cars soon...

NO!  Do not do it Ike it will not look good plus those GT tires are like 235 s or something which are NARROWER than what a tgp came with from the factory.

If you have to go with a mustang wheel check out wheel replica's and look for some 03-04 cobra wheels like my cobra has in chrome.  Or some chrome saleen 5 spoke replicas look good as well.  To be honest, I hav yet to see a TGP look good with any wheel on but the gold snowflakes from the factory.  But that is me ;)  Have fun!

good lookin out Ken , i figured you could get a 245 on there cause it was an 8 inch rim but screw it, they look nice but the offset is way far off...didnt feel like messing with spacers and all that.  BTW i think 94-04 wheels are 30mm, 03-04 cobra wheels are +26 so that would be sick...  I have a lead on a set locally with brand new tires for 500 bucks.
