Not Classic, but still mustang tech

Does anyone know if 16 inch wheel from a 91 Taurus SHO will fit on a 2002 stang GT? My Dad's Taurus is no longer road worthy (Rusting apart all over), and he has an almost new set of Blizzak tires mounted on steelies. I ran a compare of the tire sizes through an online tire size calculator and they are almost exactly the same overall size except the Blizzaks are 16 in wheel and tire versus the 17s Ihave now. I guess the concern would be if the brake calipers have enough clearance.

Thanks

Why not try to bolt them on and see?

I decided to call the experts at Tire Rack. Them said the Taurus has a 5 on 108mm bolt pattern and the Mustang GT has a 5 on 114mm bolt pattern. Looks like If I want the free tires I need to buy a set of 16x7 steelies for the Mustang.

a good rule of thumb, front wheel drive fits front wheel drive, rear wheel drive fits rear wheel drive
