'96GT wheels on a '95?

[delling3]

So, I have a set of OE wheels from a '96 for sale. A guy emailed me, seemingly very interested, looking for wheels for his '95.

A day later, he emails back saying no longer interested, cuz a '96 rim won't fit on the '95 without grinding out the wheel to clear the hub center.

B.S. or legit?

It's the same freaking body style, they will fit.

My '95 had '98 wheels. Anything 94-2004 will fit. The guy was either a) looking for an excuse to back out, or 2) misinformed/ignorant on the subject.

Yeah, I suspect he was looking for a reason to back out. He sent me a picture of a set of the same rims installed on a Fox-Body, claimed that he had to take a grinder to the I.D. of the wheel to clear the hub. Claims to have had the same issue with a '95. No skin off my nose, just wanted to check my facts. Thanks!

not just same "body style" but same parts/part numbers/etc

same wheels would fit from 94-04. Tell him to come over and you can prove it by slapping one on.

The only thing that guy would notice is the wheels will be tucked like 5mm compared a 96+ (picture is showing 8-10mm but if memory serves me from fox 5 lug conversions the 95 spindles would increase it 3-5mm over the stock fox and the 96+is like 5mm more)

94 and 95 had a different track width if I remember correctly. I had a set of AR LeMans wheels that were only made for the 94/95 year Cobra. Put them on anything else and they would hit.
