thinking about 14" or 15" for winter wheels...suggestions?

I'm not sure what year stang you have SHaFT7.

With 17" I'd assume you have a 5 lug SN95 or newer. Make sure you get wheels with the same number of lugs.

From 1974-1993 Mustang's came with 4 lug. From 1964-1973(different pattern and backspacing),1994-2001 they use 5 lug.

1994-2001 SN95 V-6's got 14", 15", or 16" wheels. I think the standard became 15" in 1996, before that 14" steel wheels with hubcaps was the base offering. The GT's came with 16" standard wheels, with optional 17" wheels, and the Cobra's came with standard 17" wheels.

Four banger stock Fox stangs 1979-1993 all got 14" wheels I'm pretty sure. From 1979-1984 "TRX" metric wheels (3 spoke) went on the upgraded cars, you cannot use standard tires on them, they are actually a little more than 15". The 5.0 models from 1985-1990 got 15" wheels. Then from 1991-1993 exc Cobra 5.0's got 16" wheels. The 1993 Cobra had 17" wheels (five lug I think).

From 1974-1978 the lower models got 13" wheels, and the upgraded Mach 1 and Cobra II's along with the King Cobra got 14" sets. I'm not sure about the backspacing though.

From 1964-1973 they had a different 5 lug bolt pattern than newer 5 lugs, along with totally different backspacing, so these I'm sure, will not fit your car.
