im looking for rims/tires for my 67 mustang - i was wondering what the biggest 18" rim/tire can i fit on the backs and fronts.
im looking at getting 2000 cobra r's - will they fit ?
i also seen a fastback with 20's - even though it sounds like a big rim/tire - it looked cool
thanks

18x8.5 about the biggest 18" rim u can fit.
most people run an 8" wide rim up front an can fit up to a ten in the back with the right backspacing. heres mine 17x8 all four corners 245/45/front 275/40 rear

depending on the backspacing u might need spacers for the front.. i see alot of people running 3/4-1" sapcers on all four corners. with my wilwood set up i think i was only running a 1/4 spacer in the front
