Well I am sure someone in the past has posted a thread like this, but it is always good to refresh peoples minds. From your experience what are the size of wheels and tires are able to fit into the 65-73 mustangs?

For example (this is just a guess)
1969 Mustang Fastback largest wheels size is:
Front wheels 17x7 with 215/45
Rear wheels 17x8 with 245/40

And repeat for the 15" 16" and 18" wheels for each year...

Dodgestang's site has exactly what you're asking for. A search ought to turn it up (I don't remember the address offhand, though I do know that work internet filtering will not let me go there).

Your guess is a little on the small side

I have 17X 8 240/40/17 on the front and 17X9 275/40/17 on my 1968 Coupe. Be VERY careful on the front of your car. Personally if i had to do it again, i would NOT have put a 17X8 on the front unless you have completely modifiedied it. I would go with a 17X7 225 tire. I had to use a +24 offset with a wheel spacer just to get mine right. Not worth the aggravation. Also i definitely believe there is MORE room on the 67 and up cars over the 65 & 66, because i had 17's on my 66 and they were 17X7 and i had to curl the fenders in the front just to get them to not rub.....Good luck! it is worth it in the end...
