Default Wheel compatibility

Hey guys I've been checking out some wheels, no desire to replace yet but I figure I'll do it in the future some time. I have a question with the compatibility of wheels other than the standard bullitts, cobras, saleens etc.
I know that the bolt pattern on my 04 Mustang is 5x4.5 and that generally they take anything up to size 20 or so, but I don't know much more than that. This wheel is pretty hot but its made for classic mustangs.

Its 18 inches and the pattern is the same as my car so would it fit? If not, why? What should I be looking at other than bolt pattern and size when I look for wheels?
Thanks

You have to be aware of backspacing. Nothing under 5 1/2" or you will rub when making sharp turns......

Is that 5.5 for both the front and back or are they different and can I use spacers?
