Title: 15 x 9 or 10 inch wheels
Post by: demon69 on January 04, 2024, 09:46:40 pm

Hi

Is anyone running 15 x 9 or 10 inch wheels on a 69 Mach?  If so, can you post pics and let me know what the backspace is and tyre size. I've currently got 8 x 15 with 235 but I want to go to 255 min.

Thanks
Peter

I have 15 x 10s on the rear of my 70.
Tyres are 275/50s. No rubbing with 0 offset ie. 5 inch backspace.

I have 255x15's on mine, it could look fatter but I didn't want a caricature of a '60's muscle car either.
Pic is hard to see the exact width, these have 4.5 inch back-spacing.

Mike Maier is a mustang guy who sells suspension and body parts to modify mustangs. He has a page that lists what fits , he lists 17 inch wheels but it may give you an indication if your looking for 15inch
