05 mustangs have diff backspacing, can use wheels with maverick?

sweet! I'm going to drive to that shop just after christmas and check out their stock...will update!

 

Your Comet looks great.

From your description, you could run the bullits without a spacer in the rear. I'd like to push the envelope a bit and not run spacers in the rear with a 9.5 and a 275.

I've seen 69 stangs with 6.25 bs on 10s with 295s that only required a bit of massaging with a hammer to the inner fenderwells.

You may be able to tell us if we can run 6.0 BS or even more.

uh.. jeremy you might wanna consider the size tire profile as well? remember my grip about size tires before you left the other day.. lol!

i guess never under stood the point of the wide wheel with a skinny tire you could fit on a smaller width wheel that would fit correctly.

 

what size would be your best suggestion, a 16?

 

The front upper ball joint is a point of concern with 16" wheels. The 94-04 Mustangs 16" wheels require an additional spacing of 7/8" PLUS to clear. The 17's are just the extra "n th" in diameter to aid in clearing the upper ball joint. As stated before, it requires 7/8" spacing to clear the 17's

 

1971cometgt - That is a very nice looking wheel/tire package. Good way to modernize the look and improve handling of the car and still retain a Vintage appearance. What size /brand are your tires all around ? Who was the manufacturer of the spacer kit. I gotta do that to mine. Thanks for sharing .

 

I have Goodyear gatorbacks, 245/45-17. The spacers are from Summit racing- CalCustom or Mr. Gasket 7/16". TWO per wheel, rendering 7/8" spacing,with ARP 3" wheel studs. I have no interference with this rig.
