Default 99-04 wheels on 05+ stangs

I don't know if this has been asked before but I'm just checking, can the the wheels stated as 99-04 be fitted on the 05+ models. I know that sounds like a stupid question but I'm checking for the chance that the wheel section wasn't updated when the new models came out.

I'm looking to put some deep dish bullits on my 06 GT so thats why I want to know.

i dont think they will...they are different back spacing and wheel offset is different as well from the 05+ models.

Im not 100% sure but I think that the back spaceing on the wheels are different so i believe if you put a 96-04 wheel on a 05 and up stang the wheel will be tucked into the wheel well.

So its the same rivet pattern, just different spacing. Going on the pictures you posted I'd say that looks better than if they were set further in.

Thanks for the info.
