Someone on there will have done this swap(well at least on a 67-68 mustyang, hehe). I have heard that the Wilwood kit spaces the wheel out a 1/4" from stock, never heard that about the Baer kit but i'm not sure. My bro is running 17x8's on the front of his and 17x9.5's on the back of his '68 Mustang coupe(235/45/17s front/265/45/17s rear) they fit REAL tight definintely needed to roll the fender lip FLAT.
