Post 18" Lightning rims

Do the lightnings have the same bolt pattern as the mustangs? I want to get 18" rims for my car and I think the lightning rims look pretty sweet and It would look differant instead of the 17" Cobra R's that everyone in the world has

I can't say if the pattern is the same but be prepared to pay $500 each.

I'm pretty sure the mustang uses a 5 x 100 mm or 5 x 110 mm. The Lightning is a 5 x 135 mm. Also, I think the offsets are wrong for the mustang BUT the price is not as bad as you think. Click on this link (it the local on line store) they have them @ $229.

Check out http://www.tirerack.com/ They have the '99 Cobra 17" wheels for $179 and the Cobra R wheels for $209. They also have some sweet Borbet rims in 8 x 18 for $289.

Happy shopping.

Lightning wheels will not fit your Mustang. But if you want them bad enough change the bolt pattern. Or try these:

If your heart is really set on the Lightning Wheels go to my web site and look at the links (Diversified Products). You will think that you died and went to heaven when you get the price on these wheels. In fact you will want to buy two sets (I did). http://mikesmotorsport.virtualave.net

Good Luck, Jim... almost sounded like finding those tires will be a "Mission Impossible".
