Stock Wheel Specs
I am going to start my project with getting rid of the Crager hot rod wheels that the kid put on it (67 Coupe). Since I am going for more of a sleeper look, I am looking at a bump from 14" up to 15", maybe 16".
[ol][*]What was the original wheel/tire specifications on a 1967 with the 289/4speed combination? I believe that it called for a 205 X70X 14".[*]How wide was the stock rims?[*]What was the offset on the stock rims?[/ol]And finally, does anyone know of a site that I can go to that can give me the specs of different year Fords.
As I said, sort of leaning towards making a sleeper, and am sort of partial to the look of the lattace aluminums that my `92 Crown Vic has on it. My Jags (vintage `77) all work quite well on 8" rims, with 215X70X15s on them and I am thinking that is a good match for the Mustang as well.
A 215 is 8.46" wide. With that I could even go to a 225X60X15s, but do not want to sacrifice ride of the taller tire.
Seems my memory tells me that the OEM rims were 6 3/4" wide? But I can not remember the offset, and understand for stress of suspension, etc. that I should keep within the proper offset?
Any conversation/advise would be appreciated.
