I'm going to be buying new rims for the 67 next week and still haven't decided which to buy. I need some help. Does anyone here have 17x9" rim on their 67-68 mustang? I need to know if you had any problems with the front end hitting them. Also what size spacer did you use.

I'm looking at buying 17x9 and 17x10.5 Cobra R rims in Gunmetal.



I'm also considering a set of 17x8 and 17x9.5 Bullitt Style rims in Dark Gray.

 

17" Torq Thrust-Ms

 

Those are 17x8" rims aren't they?

 

17x8 front, 17x9 rear. Running 235/45/17 and 265/40/17. A 1" spacer in the rear makes the aesthetics look better, but it's not required..

 

I've considered going with a set similar to that, but with 275/40/17 on the rears.

I'd really like to fit a 17x10.5 back there with a 315 tire.

 

I don't like the look of a 275 tire on a 9" wheel which is why I went with 265s. Almost went with 255, actually.

 

I'm trying to get a setup of 17x8 and 17x10.5 Black Bullitts. If I can't I'm going to choose between the two I posted about in the first post.

 

Those knifey bullitts look sick, me like in 18" if available.

Why, if you are buying new rims, are going to use spacers? Just get the rim with correct offset/backspace and save yourself the cost of the spacers.
