So it looks like Ill be going with a more modern wheel for my 67. I know I will need wheel adapters to make them fit but my question is...

Is it easier for me to go with a 1994-2004 wheel or a 2005-2010 wheel?

The offsets on the later wheels run up around +40 mm, vs +22 to about +25 for the '94-'04 wheels. I'm using Ford wheels from the FRPP catalog here rather than aftermarket wheels (aftermarket offsets can vary all over the map). I'd guess that the offset for most 1960's-era wheels was closer to zero. The 5-bolt patterns are all on a 4.5" bolt circle.

I dont have spacers on mine. check out california custom wheel market. they make the wheels for correct backspacing for the early stangs. my wheels were $500 and tires were $450

Modern wheels on a classic Mustang do'nt look good on them. stay with a classic style wheel that look some much more awesome than a modern looking wheel. I have Keystone Klassic on my 65 FSTBK,

I completely agree. I have 15 inch Magnum 500 wheels on mine. I wouldn't have it any other way. The only larger modern wheels that look good are the Bullitt wheels and the torque thrust II wheels. Thats pretty much it.

Here are new pictures! I will try and lower it some today if I can. It needs like 2+ dropped in the front.

you need WAYY more tire on the back. lol but i like them. and lower the front a lot, too. haha. what are you doing with the old setup?

The old setup had smaller tires that the new ones. I was only running a 215 on the old ones and now I run a 225. Front was lowered like 3 inches last night. I have sold my old setup and am trying to find out a good day for the guy to pick it up.
