looks like you can only get this wheel in 2005 and up with a 6.4" back spacing in the 18" x 8.5 and a 6.13" back spacing on the 17 x 8.5

acording to the chart I need 5.00 back spacing

I have a set of 05 wheels and tyres here so Im going to have a play today maybe

Sure do be like'n em

Damn, have added those 18's to my list of parts to get for my car, even the wife was impressed with your selection Matt, so with her approval they are a shoe in.

Cant wait to see it mate!!

I have fitted 03 mustang wheels in 18's before to a 67 using spacers on the front wheels

Going out there now to see if this is going to work...the suspense is killing me....just want to order them.

Sheri love em also....the moment she saw them started talkin car shows and saying how much she loved the "ALLYnor" convertible you built

Keep you posted

OT: Either way you go with the wheels will look good Matt, the shelby rims make it look super tough and the blingy chrome ones would be pretty sweet too. Can't wait to see more pics



Edit: Don't worry mo, i found them. They're on this page http://www.mustangcentralga.com/restomods.html if you scroll down a bit...

Matt,
Is that real 67 Shelby GT350 for $65k? If so I am off to the bank. Or is it a clone

Jeremy, All done mate. Should be in your inbox

Got most of the little things done and I purchased about $100-$150 worth of little parts (on the house) however I had little time to do it all. I have made a small video going over the cars minor things it still needs doing and the hood latch needs some tweaking

Marty, its a real GT350 but it may be a rebody at this stage as the guy wont drill the shelby plate so Sheri can get the vin...the car looks the goods but that was from a photo I received on my phone.

Think the cars on its way to Mecum auctions now....I left it alone

Did my back in Mo

just coming good today.....couldnt even open a can of coke it was that bad

Gotta go grab a 67 first thing in the morning so I will maybe have a crack at fitting one up and see how she fits.

Other alternative, is just order one...see if it can be fitted somehow and if not...send it back. Pretty sure its going to look a bit awkward

Mark...it was Sheri's Bday mate....and yes...shes a april fools baby...poor girl. She has to put up with my pranks all year round so I let her Bday slide

Matt, so we can't get those CS wheels to fit the early model cars?

I'd love those chromie ones on my 66... otherwise its back to the Eleanor wheels for me.

..."patience Luke, use the force...feel the darkside and draw on its force"

Anything can fit (just maybe not these)

May just have to order one with a spacer set and see if it hangs out too far....thats what Im prediciting. If I dont do it, I will never know...atleast I gave it a crack despite knowing its going to have issues

Would be chasing 2" to meet the front rotar...may end up looking like a tractor at the front

Ive been too busy ordering and chasing everyone elses parts that I just dont get time to do my own stuff.

Think I should just pull the trigger and order one today.

Its finding the time to unscrew a wheel and di ck with it thats hard

I have an 05 wheel here that I can pre test fit

will try see if I can find some time today
