One of my Mustangs is a 1995 6-Cyl model. I'm curious what the suspension differences are between the 6-cylinder car and the 5.0L car. Also, are there any differences in the wheel bolt patterns? Thanks,Pro-T Rob

The wheel bolt patterns are the same. You should be able to put any wheel on there that would go on a 95 GT. I saw one just the other day with a set of 98Cobra wheels. Looks nice. If you want big fat sticky ones, AFS has 17X10.5 cobra R's for the back!Not sure about the suspension differences. Anybody with a 6 know the differences in suspension from a GT? Mike

My main concern was the wheel difference vs. the GT. I'm deperate to get rid of the little pizza cutter, hub-capped wheels and put on a taller wheel with a little less sidewall. It's just a 3.8L, but it's my work car and when I'm out doing work as a field agent a little agressive driving is the only thing that keeps me sane sometimes.  If I can in fact bolt up a 16" or 17" GT wheel then that's what I'll be doing. Thanks for the info!Rob

Rob, bolting up GT wheels to a V6 is no problem. I just did this with my '99:http://w3.cablespeed.com/~shannon/99stang4.jpg I believe the suspension components would be similar too. I think the GT stuff is obviously a little more heavy-duty, and you should be able to put GT springs/shocks/etc onto the V6. ------------------
