Default 67 Mustang 18x9.5

Hey guys I have a 67 mustang and im trying to find the best size wheel that will fit im thinking either going 17x8 all around or 18x8 in the front and 18x9.5 in the rear if I go with the 18" will the rear tire fit being 18x9.5? The wheels im looking to get are boss 338

Let me know if you any suggestions or if you are running these size wheels now I dont really want to have to do any custom jobs or rolling the fender and def dont want the wheels to rub

Any pics would be great!

17x8 will fit with no problems, though if you go up to 18 then you'll want to get a pretty low-profile tire. I'm researching this as well but for my 70. if you take a look at my thread then there's some guys with 67s that chimed in with some useful info.

i did this as well (asked this very subject) and i went with 17x8 simply for the fact that you have many more tire choices at that size than at 18x8

You will need spacers for those bullitts if they are from a 99-04 mustang and 05+ mustang.

And that is a good deal on those, they usually sell for $300+ here.

Yeah you should be able to run those without spacers. If not it shouldn't be more than an 1/8th inch one
