Which Mustang wheels are you referring to?

Hall used to sell 17x9 Mustang Cobra wheels for the Pantera.   The fronts 
were too wide, and the rears were too narrow to fit properly without spacers. 
  That is, the rear wheels looked much like the stock 15x8 Campagnolo 
wheels, which is to say, too narrow to fill the fenders properly.   In front, the 
17x9 wheels stick out a fair bit and the tires would beat the hell out of 
the stock fender lips.

Having said that, they would look great on the front of a car with GTS 
flares, and matching wheels can be had in 17x10 or 17x11 with custom offset to 
fit the rear fenders too.
