changing rims from 14" to 15"

Hi
Is it possible to change my Mustang 2 front end (disc brakes) wheel size from a 14" to 15" Is there an after-market part for this.

Bob

should just need wheels and tires. as long as backspacing is the same, and the bolt pattern are the same. my 87 t-bird was shod with 14's from the factory and i put 15 in cougar wheels on it. then my kid put 16in wheels on it. all was good.

If you're using the 4 bolt rotors, you'll need to change them out for the V8 Mustang II 5 bolt units. Or, you can just order new ones from any of the major aftermarket suppliers and specify what bolt pattern you want. Then just make sure that whatever 15" rims you use have the same or nearly the same back spacing and you're good to go.
