This is very concerning, as I was planning on buying some 18" Mustang cobra repros on Ebay soon.
Has anyone else that is running Mustang wheels had this issue?

Like Phil, I run mustang 17s with no problem. In bolting them up, Greg's comments are important to heed, though I think they are applicable to all wheels. They may be a little less critical here because most GM hubs of this era were both lug and hub centric. That is, both the center ring of the hub centers and the tapered lug nuts act to center and hold the wheel. My stang 17s fit the center hub ring as snugly as the stock Reatta. It is hard to see where there is going to be much movement here, though Daniel tends to be pretty detailed when tracking down a problem. If he says he narrowed it to the stang wheels, I am inclined to believe him. BTW, there are tons of 114.3 and 115 wheels out there, but many do not fit our hub ring. As an experiment, I used an old 114.3 wheel with a smaller center hole and ground out enough material to clear the hub ring. This left the wheel lug centric but not hub centric. There was considerable vibration meaning that a machine shop will be necessary to make such wheels usable on our cars.
