Hey dodgestang, I've seen your chart all over the place.

 

I've never really liked the big 17" wheels on the old classics myself. I'd rather see 15s (16s at most) with a nice sidewall on the tire and lots of rubber them. To me it looks better not to mention hitting a pothole doesn't kill the tire AND wheel! A decent sidewall on a nice big tire is much better then a big old wheel with a rubber band wrapped around it. Its damn near sexy!

 

Dodestang, I'll be glad to submit any info for the tire and wheel size. These tires and wheels were given to me from a friend that decided to go a different route on his FFR Cobra. They came off of a late model Cobra Mustang that was traded in at the Ford dealer where he is the srvice director. Here is another picture, the car has a good rake to it. I know some folks prefer the level low look, but we like this look. Just as your car is a knockout, we get a lot of comments at car shows that love the look of ours. We have taken home numerous trophies for "peoples choice" and "best paint", we did ALL the work ourselves, just a father and a son in our home shop.

17" X 8" wheels will fit, but you must make sure they are at the correct backspace; 4.75" is the optimal backspacing, but 4.5" will work.

im going to 15x10s on the rear with magnum 500s on my 70

 

Tims65, man what a nice fastback. I like the Shelby touches you did to it.

 

hey, gottamustang-Very Sweet car.

 

Yeah it gets around...but all the places I have seen up till now linked back to my site for the source. Other wise when I update the files (which has becomea little more few and far between) you don't get the new entries.

 

I have 17x8's with 4.75" BS and 245/45/17's on the rear but I also have a 9" Lincoln Versailes rear axle which is narrower than stock so I needed some 1" spacers to get the track width to look right.

 

Thanks, your coupe looks great too!

Tim
