If they're rims for your Saturn, they won't fit the Mustang.
Got a pic of the rims?

If you're getting a GT or Cobra, the stock rims are better anyway.

Also, rims for a saturn won't work on a mustang b/c mustangs need RWD rims, and also wider rims.

wider, and possibly stronger too. RWD rims are more set inwards and have a bigger lip on them whereas the "tuner" style rims are more forward, or "flush" if you will to the side of the rim. That's what I have come to notice anyways.

Does AWD need special rims too? :P I've seen Cobra R's on a Mitsubishi Galant before. Yes, I think it's gay, but evidently they work.
But yes, you will definitely want something wider than 205 for a Mustang, especially a V8 model. 225 is the bare minimum, anything less and you can completely kiss cornering and traction goodbye.
Are you vetting a V6, GT, or Cobra?

No, I don't think they would look good IMO if you could get them to fit. The only wheels I like on mustangs are the american racing torque thrust wheels, weld racing wheels, and cobra r wheels. | |
