hey everyone,
i have a 1965 mustang conv. i saw some wheels on a car like mine at (mustangonlyone.com) the car is in the "66" section about 15-16 cars down. the car is dark blue and he says they are off an "05" I found some "08" on craig's, 16" w/p215/65r/16 the bolt pattern is perfect but they hit my leafs and wont go on all the way. i have not even tried the front. help

 

Are you talking about this one?

 

You know you could just buy these http://www.coyswheel.com/coys-c67.html look the same and no spacers.

 

thank you for the info, but i am light in the wallet at the moment. can i make these fit they are 16x7

 

yeah thats it, t.hanks for your time

 

You should be able to use them. Just make sure you get some good quality spacers not the cheapo ones. I don't know what size off hand you will need. I'm sure someone else on here does. I do think those wheels look pretty nice. I like them better than the Coys, although its too bad they are not a direct fit with out spacers.

 

If you buy quality spacers they go for between $300 - $400 for one set. That plus the price of the used rims you are buying will probably come close to buying rims that Andrew suggested. food for thought

 

I ran 05 bullitts on my car for awhile. If I remember right the backspace on the 05 is 5.96 inches. Most folks run a 4.5 inch back space which would mean you need to run a 1.5 inch spacer. If I remember correctly I was running a 1.25 spacer and it was really super close to the upper A arm in the front. I also didn't feel like the wheels studs on the car were long enough to safely run the spacers so I replaced them all with longer studs. $2.50 a stud x 20 was another $50 plus the time to replace them. I personally will not run spacers again although I do feel like they are safe.

 

i bought my spacers from texas mustang....i spent about 200$ for all four of them
