biggest wheels and tires size

01dutchGT · February 21st, 2008, 12:43 AM

I want to know whats the biggest tire and rim size i can fit on my stock 65 mustang. I just bought one and it needs new rims and tires bad.

Biggest size or width?

Here's a good place to start to give you an idea what you have to work with:

Well rims size? Like 15 x 9 or what.

69fastback · February 21st, 2008, 04:11 PM

Are you wanting larger diameter rims, or more width, or both?

01dutchGT · February 21st, 2008, 07:49 PM

Just wider really if i can go with bigger diameter then i want to but only like 16's not like 18's

zers · February 22nd, 2008, 12:33 AM

my 65 has 16x9.6 in the back and 16x7.6 inch in the front. You might be able to go a little wider in the back, I wouldn't go any wider in the front, mine have very little fender clearance.

edit: I'm also at stock height, so if you're lowered/going to lower, may want to make sure you're going to have the clearance on top (mine rub on the fender flare when i go over hard bumps)

01dutchGT · February 22nd, 2008, 12:38 AM

you have any pictures of your car. Also what style rims looks best on these mustang. Mines a 65 coupe. I was think some style that looks like bullits or classic muscle car look.

You could always tub out the rear then you can run a 335 which would be on a 12 inch rim! Not stock at all though

zers · February 22nd, 2008, 03:15 AM

I like the bullitts. That's without wheel caps also, but they're coming soon as my tax return comes

Though, it all depends on your tastes, lots of wheels look good imo. Long as they're not too modern. I like the low profile understated look of the grey bullitts.

nba1341 · February 22nd, 2008, 05:07 AM

i have 17 inch tires and im not sure the width but they dont clear the fenders and have cracked them

i need to get my fenders flexed or whatever you call it and get the cracks repaired :/

460brevill · February 22nd, 2008, 10:32 AM

i run 195 70 14 front and 275 50 15 rear

01dutchGT · February 26th, 2008, 10:37 PM

whats the biggest tire i can fit on a 14x7 inch rim. Also what backspacing would work best for the rim. I what the widdest rim but no have the tire stick out from fenderwell.

MustangOne · March 9th, 2008, 07:52 PM

I have 17 X 7 4" back space Front 225/45/17 tires 17 X 9 5" Back space 245/45/17 tires
