Will 2000 Ford Mustang wheels fit 1966 Satellite ???

Don't trust random people on the internet.
Do the work yourself. Measure your stock wheels and see how much clearance you have, in short....where you can add additional width or diameter.
Measure the other wheels to see where they differ in width and diameter. From there you'd know what you can get away with.
I ordered a $3000 set of wheels and tires after doing this and everything fit and cleared.

This was over 20 years ago.
Those Mustang wheels might fit but late model wheels have a LOT of backspacing. Newer car hubs are pushed out wide. The wheels are designed to sit out close to the body edge to reduce wind drag and make the car more aerodynamic. Our classics had wheels tucked in. The wheels were often near zero offset (almost as much backspacing and front spacing) whereas late model wheels have a LOT more backspacing than front.

I`d think the backspace/offset would be wrong ...

Isn’t bolt spacing on the fords metric?

Nope. Ford kept the standard 5 lug 4 1/2" circle for Mustangs and for awhile, Ranger and Explorers.

114.3 mm equals 4 1/2

The center could be a problem, could be .020 small. Bought a pair of 15 X 7 right pattern wheel, put them on with air gun. Had a hell of time getting them off. A cast wheel might crack. Be prepared to have center hole enlarge.

I've read from guys on the A bodies site (FABO) that use spacers/adapters when they mount up the Mustang wheels, This was to push the wheels out off the hubs for clearance and appearance reasons.
