Would these wheels work for the 1965 Mustang?

Sorry for the newb question but just getting started with my 65.

they will work but you will need a wheel spacer to get the right BS. i belelive its something like a 1" but im not sure, someone will chime in who knows for sure though.
seems expensive BTW. ive seen sets go for ( and i wouldnt pay more than) like 3-400
for about 6-800 you can get a real nice set of aftermarket rims that will look better

price is too high

I dont think the price is that bad if the tires are really as good as he says. Actually I prefer those OEM wheels to alot of the aftermarket crap that is available.

I would rather have Mag 500s or Torque Thrust, or Cragar SS though.

Yes you will need spacers to use them.

Price is definitely too high, I wouldn't pay more that $500 for OEM take offs especially those that have been sitting for a few years. Plus you would need to buy spacers.

I just ordered myself some Vintage Wheel Works V45's for just under $700 and they are meant for our cars, don't need spacers.

Price is too high (even with tires $500 is top average price for take offs)

Tires are too tall and would need to be replaced

Price is too high, I've seen the same rims n tires for 300 just wait cuz ull need spacers if u go with those... I have a 65 n I just paid a lil more to get some shipped from eBay that bolt right up!

I've never really priced the late model OEM wheels before.

I don't really think the tires would really be to small for a stock 65-66. However, they are not really new tires anyway since they are from 2005.

I didn't realize how old they were before. I wouldn't recommend running older tires even if they look good. In a year or maybe two I would say those tires are too old to use.
