Thats cool. I have 235 60 15 in the rear with GT springs, those shackles, and KBY gas adjust shocks. I don't have any rubbing issues thankfully.

I have a 66 mustang and they are 5 -lug. Will a 5-lug off of a 2002 mustang fit mine?

The bolt pattern (5 on 4.5") is the same, but the offset is quite a bit different (around +22mm for the late wheels vs about zero for the early car).

Check Dodgestang's charts, there's probably a link to them somewhere in this thread.

I have two sets of Saleen wheels, the Parnelli Jones for one of the 66s, and the Dan Gurney for the other. I did the test fit on the 1 66 I have that runs. The other 66 is going to get a more boxed flare. 19x10 rear, 19x9 front, Tires are Pirelli PZero Corsa 285/30-19 all 4 corners.

Thank you BA. I'm probably using the wrong script. I wasn't able to see the pics after I posted them but that is common from Iraq. I think they do that on post to save server space. I can't see anything posted on photobucket. A shame too, a lot of photos that end up on Craigslist and ebay are hosted on photobucket.

thought I'd post a before and after of my 1969 coupe. The before shot is with gabriel air shocks and heavy duty leafsprings. The after is with KYB gas adjusts and gt leafsprings. Still need to cut the front coils to drop the front a bit more but i think it looks alot better in the after look and handling is miles better now.
