Not with a 5.95 back space. You would have to run spacers on it to get it to fit.

Yup, that's a mighty big offset. And then if you do get them on so the tires clear everything, your're probably gonna have a whole lot of tire sticking out of the fender well. I think a 9" wide rim is overly ambitious for an early Mustang. But we all have our opinions, lol.

Not going to work... GO with these, this is whats on my 66.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-CH...37291603QQrdZ1

Got my set in a 4.5 inch setback and the fit great!! 17x8's all around with 225x45-17's. You can go as high as 245x45-17's with these rims.

are you joking...? take a look at slickmans car....beauty at its finest...

and the bullitts and tt2's are so similar to me that it wouldnt matter.....besides the fact tt2's are about 250 dollars A WHEEL....ridiculous....even if i had the money.
