The reason is, he loves my rims and since I am getting new ones to match my new look, he wants to buy them. Yeah, it could be way more expensive than he bargained for. Who knows? Thanks though.

Yeah I just did a quick internet search and what I found basically says that he would have to swap out the rear axle, and the front suspension, plus add in the mods needed to mount the new stuff.. might be a lot more than what he wants, probably cheaper to find rims that fit that look like yours

Yeah, probably! I appreciate you looking into it and providing some info.

I've seen wheel adapters on mustangs to use other kinds of rims. I dont know of any brands though, just that I've seen them.

Interesting, I thought there was a kit where you could change. I just thought it meant a new lug pattern.

Yeah here are some example...I'm actually considering the ford to chevy adapter because a friend has somepainted rims w/ 35s on them that he hasn't been using.

Big O Tires is able to get 5 lug 1.35" to 6 lug 1.35". They are $99 a piece. Add 2" of spacing and are considered safe to use.
