<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/119349/aaaaaaaaaa.jpg"></center><p>Since my borbets from Germany were 350 dollars to ship to the us (same price as i bought wheels for) i called it quits with German ebay and had to back out, i came across some pretty nice older mustang wheels and wanted to know if they would fit my 90? They are 17x8.5 et27 which is 10mm off from stock so just like adding a 10mm spacer? im a noob at wheels, but here they are, what you guys think, here is a little ms paint i did with them. haha im bored, kinda remind me of corvette saw blades?<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Black-Chrome-1993-Mustang-Cobra-wheels-17x8-5-4-lug_W0QQitemZ290186550096QQihZ019QQcategoryZ43957Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Black-Chrome-1993-Mustang-Cobra-whe

you can get hubcentric rings that go from 57.1 (our center bore) to whatever the mustang center bore is. And make sure the lug holes are big enough for our bolts.

...the wheel itself is 1.5" wider, plus, with an 8.5" wheel you need a pretty wide tire to fit on it properly (which could potentially rub).
You also have to factor in centering rings and if the lug holes are bored big enough for Audi lugs (IIRC Ford wheels tend to have too small of a bore for the lugs).
Ideally you want a 7, 7.5 or 8" wide wheel to fit a 215-225 profile tire and preferrably a wheel that's meant to fit Audis.

We rock the 14mms. Miktip posted pics of his having to bore them out several years back. And I guaranty they will need centering rings. Now, if you have to drill out, add spacers and find hub rings the chances of you having a vibration free ride are pretty small.
