Will 2008 Ford Mustang stock tires fit on a 1997 Ford Mustang?

Answer 1

The tires from a 2008, most likely, will not fit a 1997 but it depends on the wheel size. There are several variables here... First is what model the 1997 is, the second is what wheels are on the '97 - there were 6 stock tire sizes (total) available for the 97 Mustang, that includes the V6, GT, Cobra, and Saleen Mustangs. The third variable is what model 2008 Mustang you are trying to take wheels off of, and the fourth is what wheels are on it - there were 3 tire sizes (total) available for the '08 Mustang models (V6/Base, GT, California Special, Pony Package, and Bullitt). It's POSSIBLE that the tires from an '08 would fit on a '97 but highly unlikely.

If you are trying to put WHEELS from an '08 onto a '97, that will definitely not work (without modification) because the offset of the wheels is much different between the two.

Overall, it's just not a recommendable swap either way.
