I need some help figuring out the correct wheel spacers that I need. I have a '65 V-8 Mustang and have '95 Bullitt/ American Racing Torque Thrust II's Wheels. They are 235/45 ZR17's. I want to put the 17's on the 65. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Can I put 95' wheels spacers on it?

You need to know the offset of the wheels. As long as the bolt patterns match and they don't hit the breaks, they will work but they may look awkward if they are pushed into the car because of the offset. Just make sure you get hubcentric spacers so that you don't snap your studs.

Stay away from wheel spacers, plain and simple. It's all to do with the law of physics!!!

Hubcentrics are safe because they are putting the weight on the hub and the same spot that the wheels would be putting the weight on. If you get the spacers that are literally just spacers and no studs, you will snap the studs.

if i was going to put 10.5's in the rear on a 98 cobra, would the wheel be wide enough to fill that space??? i want that flush lookor flusher look.

Yes they would be wide enough. I think that is the widest you can go.

So how would I make an accurate measurment to find out the offset?

Offset = Rear Spacing — Total Wheel Width [align=center]2[/align]

?Huh? I'm a little confused.
