You'd obviously need to convert to 5 lug (SN style), and you'd also need to run wheel spacers. Atleast an inch all the way around because of the offset of the 05+ wheels.
85 McLaren Capri Coupe -Blue/orange, 5 spd, sunroof
05 GT -5 spd, Supercharged
If you havent converted to 5 lug, use 96 spindles since they have the bigggest offset.
My friend did a normal 5 lug conv. and used inch spacer. with 05+ bullits and fit well. They were 17x8

I just picked up some newer 17" gt wheels for my fox project. I put them on a cobra brake kit for fox cars and the off-set is perfect. They look llike they're made for it.

When u use 96 up GT brakes and brake lines, they bolt right up, 99 brakes need another piece between the right side brake line

'96 and newer spindles may create bumpster problems if the car is lowered. Apparently, the tie rod ends up needing to be at the same location where the spindle's tie rod attachment point is located.

When installing 'SN95' spindles on a '78-'95 that is using a K member with '78-'95 geometry, use '94/'95 spindles.
'96-'04 cars had a relocated R&P 1" lower due to the Y block design of the 4.6.
In turn the steering knuckles on the '96-'04 spindle is ~1" lower than earlier '78-'95(302/5.0) cars.
Bump steer is created when the two arcs that the A arm and steering link(tie rod) are no longer parallel.Originally Posted by MM
*Although not a F-C front suspension, you can see how the non parallel arcs will allow a steering output, without driver input, during suspension travel.*
This GIF shows what happens on a F-C front suspension in bump with bumpsteer. The non parallel arcs will cause the tierod to push on the spindle in bump, which will cause a change in steering angle.
