Default New Wheels

Just picked up a set of these rims,

Anyone ever seen 'em on a 67 convertible?
they're off a 06 v6 convertible...
Neither my front end or rear axle is in/on the car so i've got no clue on whether or not the backspacing is right =/

I've seen them on a 66(grandfathers) and they look good with low profile tires and mustang lowered. You will need spacers, I just don't remember how big.

Ive seen them on a couple of cars. They look pretty good too. You need to get spacers, but Im not too sure of which ones. They are 16 inch right? Figure out the back spacing and we can help you out with the spacers.

That should look pretty good. They have some classic style to them.

I never have been a fan of modern wheels on classic cars. I can't judge this set because i haven't seen them on your car, so i won't until i do haha.

My cousin had a set on made for the 68 and they really looked great on it. He also got the center spinners and it brought it back into the 60's which was cool.

I tried a set of newer rims on my 68. I had to run 1.5" in the front to clear the upper control arm.
