Default 1988 Mustang LX Wheels

I have an '88 Mustang LX 4 cyl convertible. It has stock steel wheels with wheel covers. I'd like to put some stock alloy wheels or a better looking wheel cover on it. Did Ford make a 14" 10 hole alloy wheel for the '88 model year? I've seen 15" but not 14. Will I have any isues, other than the speedometer offset if I use 15" rims?

No, Ford didn't make those same wheels in a 14 inch. If you go up to a 15 inch, you won't have speedo issues as long as your tire sidewall height remains the same. It's called upsizing, you go to a larger wheel you decrease the sidewall a small amount to keep the overall height the same.

Ask me why I ran "only" a 13.54.

Thanks Eagle. I think I saw a conversion table on here some where. I'll try to find a link.
