We're looking at 2 wheel sets (summer/winter) for her car with tire size about 225/55R16. The Summer set which I'm guessing since they are for a Mustang should fit fine and are Vintage 50 16x8 with 5-4.5 bolt pattern and 4.5" backspacing ; 0 offset. Note the product link BS reads incorrectly as 3 7/8" but IS 4.5. The Winter set are the Cragar Soft 8 wheels. They offer either 16x7 with 4" backspacing or 16x8 with 5" backspacing.
I'm guessing the 16x7s with the 4" BS are the ones to use. Would these fit on without needing spacers? These will be on installed on a 9" rear with Explorer disks and the front will be AJE coils with SN95 spindles and disks. Haven't decided on the V6 or GT brakes yet however it will not be the Cobra brakes.
Anyone see any issues I might run into? I'd like to order the Cragars this week and the Vintage 50s later in the spring.
Thanks.
