coys are a nice rim. The spoke design is basically the torque thrust style, but then the dish is smooth as apposed to the TT's stepped design. They are nice rims, although I would rethink the chrome.....go with polished (looks more natural).

But the chrome is so shiny. Can't resist the shine. Forgot to mention that I am doing 235/45 with 7" wide wheels on the front and 255/45 with 8" wheels on the rear. Hopefully they fit.

Have you seen the chrome C-5's in person? IMO, most all chrome plated rims look fake. You can buff a polished rim to just as shiny a finish, but it still looks so much more natural than chrome. Plus you dont have to worry about flaking.

Your tire setup should look pretty sweet. 255's on an 8" rim will start to have a little bit of a bulging sidewall.

4 lug? I would consider stepping up to the 5 lug conversion if you can first, then get the rims and tires. If you ever decide to go with disc brakes up front, you will need to chage to the 5 lug bolt pattern (unless someone makes a 4 lug disc setup that I am not aware of.

You can also go with V-8 mustang spindles instead of the granada if you would like I don't see any for 67 specifically but I can't recall if there is a huge different between the 66 and 67 spindles, If you are gonna use the granadas wouldn't they be different as well for 67.
