Torq Thrust II wheels on a mustang??

This is not true.
Not just any wheel will fit over top of a Lincoln Mark7 front rotor because of the beefy boss that sticks up in the center of the rotor.

here is a picture of a Mark7 rotor that had the boss machined at a 45 degree angle (below the dust cap) for clearance for Late Model Mustang Bullit wheels.

I originally assumed that I'd have the same clearance issue with American Racing Torq Thrust II wheels, but this was not the case - at least with the 18 inch versions. My wheels/tires have been ordered and I'll be sure to let people know if my rotors need to be machined as shown for clearance.
