I did a search but does anyone know if the bullitt style mustang wheels will fit the Marauder? I know the bolt circle is the same and I think the wheel has a 5.72 back spacing. Anyone have any experience with this set up.I am thinking these wheels for winter with blizzak tires.

What size wheels? I know the Marauder uses 18x8 with 6.5" rear spacing. 8" wide rims with 5.72" back spacing will stick out a bit too much. Basically, about 3/4" further out than stock and the stockers are fairly close to the fender lip as it is.
The bolt pattern and hub bore is the same as the Mustangs but the back spacing is fairly unique to the panther platform.
You could look into 2003+ Explorer, Mountaineer, Aviator, Grand Marquis, Crown Vic, town Car rims...the back spacing of those is very comparable to the Marauder.

I've done waaaay to much research on rims for the panthers from the days when I had my 2002 Crown Vic.

In addition to incorrect backspace, the Mustang wheel may not have the correct load rating.

You could look at getting American Racing Torque Thrust wheels. The Bullet wheels are essentially copies of it. You can get custom sizes that would fit an MM.

If anybody EVER has ANY questions about wheels and or tires, spacing, etc, ask MARAUDER. He is a wheel/tire GURU.
I asked him several questions about my wheel/tire package awhile back. :)
