1986 Mustang Convertible Needs the Right Wheels and Tires?

Any ideas? I like polished and actual oem wheels around that year but not sure if I can just throw some 1991's on it and make it look right.

Do you know what I mean?1986 Mustang Convertible Needs the Right Wheels and Tires?
Your 1986 Mustang can only use 4 lug wheels from Mustangs before 1987. All models starting in 1987 use the same 4 lug pattern as your car but the hub sizes are different. So your two choices are: 1.) swapping to 4 lug hubs/spindles from a 1987 to 1993 mustang or 2.) just swapping hubs/spindles/axles/brakes from a 1994-1995 mustang or Lincoln Mark VIII so you can run 5 lug wheels. Using 5 lug hubs will open up a plethora of new wheels to your options list. Your only option for wheels with your current hubs/spindles will be wheels that fit PRE1987 Mustang models.

You can see here that your choices for 4 lug are far less than that of 5 lug models

4 lug wheels(none of which will fit your car):

My suggestion would be to swap to 5 lug and go from there.

Hope this helps, Good luck!1986 Mustang Convertible Needs the Right Wheels and Tires?
