Got a wild hair yesterday afternoon and decided to see what the 68 would like with some modern 17" wheels. The 8x17s have more backspace but fit just fine. I ran out of time before I tried the fronts and don't know if I will have clearance issues.

I like the way it looks. The tire profile is almost the same between the 2 with the 17s being wider. What do you guys think?

 

I actually like that look! Fills the wheel well a lot better.

The Mach wheels/tires look **** good on your '68!

 

They look pretty good, but I think a set of 17x8 satin finished or even chrome / polished bullitts would look great on there.

 

Haha, that's awesome! I'm amazed that they fit...

 

I usually don't like wheels over 15" on the classics.
I have to admit it though, those look pretty good.

 

Rob, The Mach's wheels and tires look great on the fastback! I sure hope you end up keeping your 68. I really do like it. Maybe we can partner up and help each other out on fixing up our fastbacks. Give me a shout sometime.

 

ehh....they dont look that bad...but I think the ones on the front a better.

 

wow they look really good!!!! i like the way they look.

 

I'm with codeman94 on this one.
