mtb9153 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Has anybody investigated whether the 5 spoke Mustang wheels (Roush or Shelby) will work on a CMax? I like the wheel but I'm thinking it would mean switching to a larger diameter wheel which I don't what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbov Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Check the offset... FWD needs more negative offset than RWD. Kills wheel bearings as I recallFrank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtb9153 Posted June 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Not a good thing, forget that idea thanks for the input fbov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbov Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 I wasn't saying not to, just check the specs. Stock is +55mm - wheel is inset under the fender, the opposite of "deep dish" ( high negative offset) from our youth.Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the 1979 to 1993 Mustangs share the same bolt pattern. 1994 and later has a 5x114.3 bolt pattern that doesn't match up with the C-Max.

I was liking the 2012 Mustang wheel, forget that too big and wrong offset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Newer Focus and Fusion wheels should fit. joc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbov Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 FWIW, I parked next to a recent Mustang GT and if that's a larger bolt circle, it's sure hard to see the difference using a "digital" ruler (i.e. my fingers). Real high offset, too.Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
