Default 2007 Mustang Rim Fitment

Hello. I know where I can get some Epic "Sting" Rims for a decent price. The rims are currently on an Intrigue and have a 5-lug pattern that is all I really know about the fitment. Does anyone know if these will work on my mustang? Any help is appreciated thanks

An Oldsmobile Intrigue is a FFWD ,(Front Engine Front Wheel Drive)
your Mustang is RWD (Rear Wheel Drive,) so the backspacing could be totally wrong for your vehicle. I'd look for Sting's website or local wheel shop to figure out if they would actually work.
You'd hate to buy a set of wheels n tires only to find out your suspension or rotors hit the backside of the wheel/tire or something worse.
Can you use FWD wheels on RWD cars? It all depends on the wheel and the offset. Some wheels have been made to work on either but honestly the ones I've seen look somewhat generic and have bad performance characteristics overall.
The other problem could be the bolt pattern. You're trying to compare an Oldsmobile vs. Ford. So even though they're both 5 lug the spacing could be off as well.

Good luck either way
