Default Rim Question

Is it possible to put lat model mustang rims 98-00 on a 67 Mustang? It seems that there will be some spacing problems.

Thanks in advance,

Sure it's possible... tons do it. Do some searches on the topic and you'll find lots of discussion on using 1", 1.25" and even 1.5" spacers.

Yes it is, I have bullit replicas on mine, 17x8 up front, no issues, 17x9.5 with 1" spacer, and had to shackle up the rear a bit so it didnt rub. There are a lot of people on here that have done similar set ups so just check it out.

I had a question , What kind of spacers are you talking about ? Im not very informed in this .

And what place would you say has the best priced Bullit Rims?

Is it better to go Smaller up front and larger out back just by a bit ?

What difference does it make ?

Is it worth it ?

Thanks in advance

the rest are really just preferences for the rims Saleen was selling take off 05-07 gt bullits for abut 400$ with tires in the 5.0/4-6 mags but they require a 1.5 inch spacer so that probably the best price on some unless you pick up some used. as for sizing i like to stay the same all the way around so the tires can be rotated so you can get the most mileage out of it. my fox is set up with different size tires i run a 245/45 in the front and a 275/40 in the rear gives it a more muscular look but like i say just a prefrence

But it wouldnt make the difference to performance i suppose ?

And does it make that big a difference for the mileage ?
