Shelby Razors
I am hoping to buy 2 of them to test fit on my 67 mustang. I know I will need spacers for the front an probably the rear too since the backspacing is about 5.8". They are 16x7.5. I noticed that they were for Toyota Supras, but I heard that the Supra had the same bolt pattern as the mustang. Is this true?
You can look up the bolt pattern as it needs to be 5x4.5" or 114.3mm. The off-set is going to be the killer here. I don't see you getting them on without MAJOR spacers (like 1.5" probably).

Yeah I was thinking 1 1/2 or 1 1/4 spacers on the front and 1 inch on the rear to make it look right.
EDIT: Just checked it out and 87 Supras run 5x114.3 bolt pattern. Which means these will work out.

You need to consider a couple things going that wide on spacers up front. The first is just a security standpoint, as I think this is too far to be safe, IMO. The second is scurb radius and what happens when you push the front wheels out soo far. Depending on the size/width of the tire, you can run the outside edges into the fender liner as the car was not meant to run such a wide tire. I am not saying you WILL rub, but need to do some research on scrub radius and confirm fitment. Your car was meant to have a nearly 0mm off-set.

I used to know what would hit. Back when I had 4 lugs I had 16x7s with 4.9" backspacing and a 1" spacer/adapter all around so the backspacing became 3.9". I ran 205/50R16s and they would hit when turning, but that was about it. I have brand new 1" drop coils on the front so it shouldn't do it.
