S197 wheels on sn95 what's involved

[1986stangfan]

Hello I found a killer deal in some s197 rims and tires that will look decent on my 1995 untilnincan sell a kidney. I am curious to knowni anyone has experience with putting s197 rims in an sn95 and what kind of spacers etc are required. Thanks everyone

Hopefully FastEd will chime in. If not, send him a pm.

offsets are wrong, somewhere between 1/2" and 1" spacers will be required. Depends on actual wheel offset and tire size and how low your car is.

Bolt-on 1" spacers would be the easiest / cheapest route. If the budget allows, get hubcentric ones like this style:

Tire diameter is about an 1" more than the tallest factory SN95 size, but if your car is stock ride height or close to it, won't be an issue especially with that rim and tire width.

Thanks for all the info. Car is slammed so looks like a no go :) i appreciate everything.

They would work with different tires swapped on, but at that point unless you get tires very cheap as well, you may as well hold out for a proper SN95 spec package.
