I added the overall dimensions for you to check the fit. The diameter of the axle on the car should be 1/4". I suspect that Maitso uses the same axle / wheel design for all of their 1:18 Mustang models. Or at least I hoping they do.
I was also going to mention that I had 1 wheel that fit really tightly. Which was odd since I reamed all the axle pockets with a 1/4" drill bit and the other 3 of them fit nicely. Must have been the axle mold itself. However, I did find a way to get it in place without breakage. Mine was a front wheel. I put a large flat blade screwdriver behind the shock to provide support and then tapped the wheel on with the handle of another screwdriver. You might want to try it to re-seat your troublesome wheel.
