Biggest size or width?

Here's a good place to start to give you an idea what you have to work with:
Fit Larger Wheels & Tires - Classics - Mustang Monthly Magazine

 

Well rims size? Like 15 x 9 or what.

 

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

 

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

 

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)

 

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

 

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.

 

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 :/

 

rims @ tires

i run 195 70 14 front and 275 50 15 rear

 

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.

 

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

 

^ nice car man I love the color

 

Thank You, Was looking for somthing diffrent. Didnt want one like eveyones. I Still have the Red and Black one. You know, Cant help it.

 

Ive got 17x8 all around with 225 40 r17 in the front and 245 50 r17 in the rear. Make sure you get at least 4.75" backspacing.

 

im having the same prob

what needs to be done to fit 18x8 rims on an original 1965 mustang?? please help thank you

 

It is all in the back spacing and outside tire diameter.

The front need to be 24" or less in diameter.

Back spacing on the front is best with 4.75" back spacing. But 4.5 will work.

Took a quik look and this is the smallest I could find for a good price.

Size: 215/40ZR18

 

thanks a lot!!!!

 

last question i have the original drum brakes. if i was to go to a junk yard and get the disk brake set up from a newer mustang 1. what year models will work 2. is that even possible?

 

sry to bug u when u say ''The front need to be 24" or less in diameter.'' are u refering to the offset?

 

Offset = back spacing.

 

the rims are
4H
114.3
73.1
RT
Does this help will they fit? I think the offset is 38

not sure what your budget is but check this rear end out. This is what i went for except mine didnt have the third member.

 

What's up Aaron? Did you get another '65? Anyhow, I went 17x8, 4.5 BS all around and it worked out nice. I may be willing to sell you my wheels and tires if you're interested. Here's a pic.

Here's a side shot. This isn't me, but my friend used it at his wedding.

I just realized this thread is from 2008. Boy, fail on my part, and on the part of the person who revived this thread.
