Hello, First post here.

I have a Perf. White on order (see Sig)

I plan to do a clone of this car. Anyone else doing this?

My wife fell in love with it when we watched the Discovery Channel show on the buildup.
I wanted Black, but I can get approval of lots more Mod spending if I
do the car she likes, so White it is! (White was my second chioce anyway, don't tell her!)
I will start with the appearance and suspension mods, then an engine build or swap to a 5.0 4V to complete the transformation in a year or so.

I'm working on wheels and tires first.
Anyone have info on the wheels on this car?
Any estimates on the diameter? I think they look like 18", or 19"?
I've searched Tire Rack, and Discount Tire sites with no luck.
Any other good places to search?

Anxiously waiting for Ford to get these cars produced like lots of others here.
Geez, they built over 600.000 Mustangs back in 1966 MY!
This site is an awesome resource!
Thanks for any info!

 

I don't know for sure how wide they are but I can tell you mine has 285's on the rear and those make mine look small by comparison. I was thinking maybe 315's? Anyone find out yet?

 

Unfortunately I still have not found any info on what wheels those are. I would say they are 18" but no idea on the width. I will continue searching and hopefully stumble into something.

 

I think the tires are bigger than 315's and the wheels look like 12" or so. Would be interesting to see what they had to do to get them in there as I believe 295 tires are about as big as the '05 handles.

 

12"? Didn't know they made wheels that small for a mustang.

Still have found nothing more on the car so far.

 

Here is a closeup of the front wheel on the car.
Sorry for the quality, best I could get it.

Thanks Mike!

 

No Prob, I have been wondering that same thing but havent thought about them in a while. I think those and the mesh style on the other ford racing car are some of the best loking wheels, I am sure they are expensive as all get out though.

 

LOL, yeah, actually mine came stock with 8 inchers!

Thanks for the info Mike!

Now I know what I'm looking for.

The Multimatic site, who would have thought!
