classic style deep dish rims.


I want some rims that are classic looking. Like either the torque thrust or the cragers but i want some deep dish in the rear and regular up front. I have 65 mustang with stock suspensions. Anyone know of a good look deep dish in size 15. I know what size i need for the front from dodgestang but i just need some ideas on style.

how did you get them to fit the back. I would think on stock suspension they would work?

Mustang fenders were never designed for big rims - I tried G70's on 14 x 7 "bullits"s in the day and they rubbed front and rear.

The culprit is the "deep dish" look wasn't accomodated by the tight Falcon unibody designed for 13" econo rims. In the day, who knew tire sizes would get past 8" tread? They had just introduced them at Indy!
