You want to stay out of the 18 inch wheel range and stick to 16's. A lot of the choice depends on the backspacing and the tires you plan to purchase.

Yes 18x8 with 4.75bs fit.

As shown above, some people don't like bigger wheels so its not a very popular size yet.

I do have some entries though on the 67/8 and the 69/70 charts here:

im kinda glad you started this thread, thread is going to be jacked by me.....NOW

whats the widest tire you would put in the back on a 60's stang? I want 14" - 16" WIDE tires on the back of my 68'. what do you think? I would probably have to shorten the axel to make it look right... lemme know what you think.
