Yeah. I have the stock skinny @ss wheels. I neets some good looking wheels. All i know is my friend at JMC motorsports says i can fit some 17x8's in the front and 17x10's in the back. if anyone knows of any good looking wheels in these dimensions that will fit a 69 fast back, please post pics and the price. thanks.

I just recently put 17x8 American Racing Torque Thrust II on my 1967 mustang they look great I purchased them off of ebay brand new from an actual distributor and he ships for free just do a search for american racing wheels. Also your friend said you could put 17x10's on the back which is incorrect you should go to www.mustangmonthly.com and check the tech article called fit larger wheels and tires.

actually, i was looking at torque thrust II's, but i was at an all ford show at Knotts berry farm today, and alot of people have torque thrusts. so when i got hole, i started looking at some boyd coddington and Foose wheels, and i found the only foose that will fit a 69 stang... the Foose nitrous old school gray, it looks bitchen, only thing is they dont come in 17x10, only 17 by 8, but that will be great. thanks for your input though

Go into the wanted section of this site and ask for some 01-04 "bullit" style rims + tires. I got mine for $400 shipped. Pulled from an 04 Mustang used about 8k miles

I paid $400 shipped. TT 2's will be about $1100 no matter what you do.
