Default Backspacing

Anyone know the backspacing on 67 Mustangs? Currently I have 05's off a 05 Mustang on my 67 and it works perfectly on the back but even with inch spacers on the front, the left wheel hits the frame when its cut to the right all the way. I'd like to find out what size wheels and tires could go on this car without alot of modding. What is a large wheel and tire for the front? What could I put on the back with those spacers? Thanks guys

If you are looking for styles in case those 05s don't work out for you.

I was wondering, how wide of tires can I have with stock wheel housing(67 fastback)? If I want to go wider would I have to custom fabricate the wheel housing?

Thanks
