mgreene

Just bought some Torque Thrust Originals from the Tire Rack - 15x7 - $169 each.

thats a good deal

BCAL

Have you checked American Muscle? I got my fr500s with tires for about 1k shipped. 315/30/17s in the back to boot.

mustang6804

yeah. Id have to get spacers for those, and so would Jake!

BA Mustang

That is where I am ordering mine if this other company doesn't get mustang wheels in stock over the next month. I am getting 275s for the rear. With my discount I get it came out to like $970.

BA Mustang

Just ordered 3/4" rear sway bar

BA Mustang

I have that size rim on it now. They don't make the size tire I want and I don't think they will look right with the red. So I am going to buy a new set.

Rogue

be careful, a stiff rear sway bar can cause a rear end to break loose easier on corners,

it does not let the weight transfer tot the inner rear wheel of a corner as much as without it,

i am not saying it is a bad thing i am saying you will need to relearn hard cornering, you will be like wow this handles great, lets go faster, then faster, then faster then bam she lest go

BA Mustang

I have to relearn it now since the front is different. I was used to the front end moving while turning, but with the new springs and huge sway bar it is really stiff into the turns.

BA Mustang

Finalized my set of rims.

17x9 Mach 1 wheels with 245 fronts and 275 rears.

Now I just have to save up.


EDIT: Canceling the order for the sway bar.

mustang6804

you getting the right backspacing? or are you getting spacers?

Rogue

*********9 INCH WHEELS WILL NOT FIT THE FRONT ON A 67 OR 68 mustang*******

there is not enough room between the ball joint and the fender,

17x8 is the widest that will fit and that is very tight

I am running 17x8's up front with 245x40x17's

and 275x40x17'x i nthe rear with 17x9.5 wheels i nthe reat

fronts rub the fenders on turns with a dip in them.

rears rub the new fiberglass fenders , but would not rub the stock ones

BA Mustang

They fit on 65-66 mustangs and the 67-68 is larger than them.

Rogue

GOOD LUCK,

the only way you will make that fit is if you have the right backspacing and flare your front fenders, 65-66 and 67-68 is not even 1/2 inch difference on front fenders

and who says they will fit, because they will fit on the car, you just wont be able to turn or hit a dip.

also another note, you wont want to put 245 tires on 9 inch wheels you will pull the side wall and cause the tire to have a cupped middle,

the wife's mustang has 9 inch wheels on the front and has 245's i can show you if you want

BA Mustang

I have seen a set with 245s. We have a set on 15x9s that were going to be put on my dads truck.

Wonder if a set of Chrome Cobra Rs would look good.

BA Mustang

Hope to buy a pair of Shelby side scoops tomorrow. That will make me 1 step closer to paint.

Rogue

just a reference

the inner circle is the 15" wheel, the outer edge is the 17's

if you want to try 245x40x17's you can try one of my wheels to see how it fits, i also have the 245x35x18's on the 97 you can try also if you want,

just trying to help you from making any errors just because thw other wheel fit does not mean it will cycle thru full suspension motion without rubbing or hitting.

BA Mustang

Bought a set of Eleanor side scoops for the 67 today.

kennyg

How you going to mount the upper scoops? Got a chop of that? kennyg
