If you have real Mustang Bullit rims then they should be 17x8 with 5.72 backspacing. Those will fit just fine with a thin spacer. But, it isn't a simple bolt on. The hubs need to be turned down a little bit and you should use longer wheel studs to make it right.

The Mustang wheels are a great value, but the whole job has to be done correctly to get the odd parts to fit and work together. I have no idea how you got the tie rods on upside down? That doesn't make any sense to me. I guess I'd have to see the setup to understand what is going on there.
