Bullitt Mustang rims will fit. Might look a little goofy with a low profile tire on there, though.

Looks good but needs to either be lowered or get larger meatier tires. JMHO. Is your Ex lifted at all, looks like it has a TT and F-150 springs on it cause I don't see any lift shackles.

I ask because I have a '97 Mounty and it site alot lower then your's, atleast it looks like it does.

The suspension was all jacked up when i got it so my warranty replaced the whole front end with new shocks and what not, they said it'll lower down in time, but I'll end up doing a reverse TT very soon. I wanna lower the back, but idk any other way besides blocks, which I will not do.
Thanks for the compliment
