Ive been referencing the Mustang to try to find wheels for my car. Do the wheels on both cars have the same specs(offset, hub dia, bolt circle, etc)? Or are they both specific to each car? Just trying to see if my cross referencing is doing me any good.
They are the same bolt pattern and offset, except the rears on the mustang are 10" wide and are a different offset. But I also used hubcentric rings on the Bonnie.

Here are the factory mustang wheels...

I prefer the OEM wheels personally... That is a combination of the fact that I really don't care for aftermarket wheels in the first place, but also the fact that the GXP wheels are amongst a handful of OEM GM wheels that are actually really nice in design from the start and I fail to understand why people remove them.

I like them enough that as I shop for other GM vehicles, I think "hmmm, Bonneville GXP wheels would look killer on there..."
