Default 1969 Mustang Mach 1 Wheel size

I have a 1969 Mustang Mach 1 that I am restoring. I am going to buy some Cragar SS wheels and was wondering what size you would recommend. Would 15x7 front and 15x8 be correct for the car?

Thanks,

Barry

Thats what I have on my 70, but in Magnum 500s, not Cragars. Has a nice stance to it.

That's the same size and wheel on my car (below), but I have mine jacked up.

15x8s work in the back, but you'll want to roll your quarter wheel opening or stiffen up the rear because it's close on stock leafs & shackles, but it works. I have 60x245s and reg shackles I would just clear a tire height of 24".

I have no problems with my 15x8s.

I love your car Waffles!

I think that stance is just about perfect.

What size tires do you have on it front and rear?
