    Google lug patterns. There are dozens of them out there, The Mustang pattern was 4 on 4". It seems the Saturns are the same, but there are lots of different models and years of Saturns.

    Falcon is 4 X 41/2" same as Datsun, Corvair and Nova 4 lug.

  5. Saturn is 4x100mm
    Or
    4x3.937

    Ford is 4x4-1/2
    Or
    4x114.3 mm

    No they won't bolt up and I bet the offset is different too.

    Check with "rotten Leonard" and see if he has a redrill jig

    OEM and aftermarket 4-Lug wheels for 60's Fords are not exactly hard to find. Why on earth are you looking at Saturn wheels?

    Fox-body Mustangs are not the same pattern as early Falcons and Mustangs.

    In 1975, the Ford 4-lug pattern switched from 4-on-4-1/2" to 4-on-1-1/4".

    Just a note . I tried to put 14 in. 4 lug Ford wheels on a 62 nova 4 lug to replace the 13 in. tires.
    I had to machine the center hole out to clear the Chevy hub,after that it bolted right on.

    Mr. Gimpy is right. Ran across this recently trying to find wheels to fit my buddies Anglia. Early Ford stuff 4.5. Later and Fox body 4.25. Four lug Weld wheels (ones with the round holes) seem to have both patterns. My friend does have some adapters 4-4.5 to 5-4.5 that he might sell. Can ask him. P.M. me if you want to know. Gene.
     
  11. NO, the early Mustang was Not 4 on 4, it was 4 on 4 1/2, and that is Not the same as Saturn
