2005 Wheels same as 2004?

[Old Fart]

Just saw an ad this morning for some 17 inch 2005 mustang wheels for $250. Eventually, I'll be purchasing a 2004 and these are the wheels I prefer. Are the offset, size and bolt pattern same as the 2004 wheels?

They look to be the same from what I found.

Year:	Stock Wheel Size:	Stock Bolt Pattern:	Stud Size:	Center Bore:	Offset:
1999-2004 Mustang, GT & Cobra	15-18"	5"x114.3mm	1/2"x20mm	70.3	35-50mm (H)
2005-2009 Mustang & Mustang GT	16-18"	5"x114.3mm	1/2"x20mm	70.3	35-50mm (H)

They shouldn't be the same. S197 uses a much different offset from 99-04.

Bolt pattern is the same but I thought the offset was different on 05+

They need spacers I thought to sit more flush with the fender.

Why not purchase the same Bullitt rims that came equipped on the 2001-2004 Mustangs?

Thanks again for the comments. I went to see them anyway but since they are 2005 I did not purchase... even if I could have got them for $150!! The center caps were all damaged, but the wheels looked surprisingly good.

That's because I don't have a mustang yet, lol...I'm always keeping an eye out but since the wheels were local and it's my favorite rim, would have been a good deal had they fit. Whenever the mustang comes back home, I'll purchase the correct Bullitt rims, if it does not have them already. I know there's a 04 sonic blue auto GT out there!!

Now that you guys say it - sounds right that the offset is different.

Thanks for all the comments, you guys rock! But now he texted me that he made an error and they are from a 2004. Sounds fishy...is there a date on the rims that I could check?

Those appear to be the 2005+ style from the shape and colour of the spokes. The SN95 wheels also used a different centre cap with the tri-bar logo and pony.

Thanks Ed!
