Yes these look like the ones that are on there nowThis wheel
Pretty confident there are center cap issues when using the Mark 7 style 5-lug rotors. Lemme see if I can find the pic I was citing.

Yes tires and wheels he said hes not a fan of stock wheels or cobra wheels because it is to common and he likes a little different and he likes maybe 17x7 in front with skinny tires and a 17x9 in back big wide thick tires.
100% wrong. Had a buddy put these exact wheels on his GT a decade or so ago with a the Lincoln rotors up front (the same way I'll assume this car was done) and they made contact with the dust caps. Even without the caps on, they made contact. His options were to not run centre caps at all, cut out the middle of them, or (what he did) heat the cap with a heat gun and press it into the dust cap until it deformed enough to go on.
...all three options looked like ass.
So basically what does that mean for me a whole lot of work and not knowing what I'm doing

No ignore this. Your front brakes are 94-98 Mustang GT/V6 brakes. You can run wheels without worrying about the center caps.
Yayyy thank you! Thats good news i was getting worried! So I can pick any wheels from 17" wheels frm 94-98 with no problem? Also do you possibly know the lug distace of this wheel?
Any 1994-2004 Mustang 17x8 will fit...or aftermarket is the specs are right.
2003-2004 Cobra wheels are 17x9. They will fit, but a little bit tighter as tire size is bigger.
Lug patter is 5 x 4.5" or 5"x114.3mm Same thing

Mike beat me to the punch.
My statement wasn't directed at you a.o.a, but at the generalized comment that the centre caps would fit with any of the 5-lug conversion methods.
I didn't bother reading your set up, but if you've got SN95 styple front spindles and rotor assembly as you say, then as Mike stated, you're good. Only the guys that have done the Lincoln front rotor swap, that still utilizes the early Fox body style spindles have to worry about fitment issues. Some wheels that are shallow in the centre area where the dust cap protrudes, like the '99-'00 wheels in your fist pics may make contact with the Lincoln rotors. The normally isn't an issue with the SN95 assembly.

Why not go with a set of 15's? Seems like the "big and little" look is what you are trying to achieve.
Thanks for the site...
