Hey all just looking for a set of rims that where used on Eleanor, Iv found them in the US but want to know is there any where in OZ that sells them? Im after 2x 17x11 and 2x 17x8. Also wanting to know the stud patten ( i think its 5x114.3) And also the off set on the mustangs :)
Cheers
Chris

The standard offset won't help you, if you've tubbed it to fit 11's, then the original offset is irrelevant.
We carry an Eleanor style wheel, in 17x8 all round.
Yes, it's 5 on 4.5"

i dont want the standed 8 on the rear i want a min of 9 i have looked at the rear i should fit 11 under but mite have to shorten diff. or if i can go to a 18x9 or 10 ill be happy lol. Can you put up a pic of them please?

Shortening the diff won't change your rim size...... It only affects the backspacing.
We only have them in 8's though

There is also a chrome version, on the way here, but these are in stock.

These are made to your specific size & back space. The XP in my sig is wearing a set of these with polished centres (15x7). Expect to pay close to triple the cost of the ones Blkpny is selling. Also as Blkpny said, shortening your diff will change the backspacing (allow a deeper dish) but wont make a shred of difference on width. 17x11 wont fit without some pretty serious wheelhouse surgery.

Another wheel to consider is Coys C-67 (http://www.coyswheel.com/coys-c67.html). They're avalable in the correct 4.75" backspace to suit our cars.
Geezers (http://www.geezers.com.au/engines-parts-wheels-details.php?id=8) in QLD have a set for sale.

Gave them a call today, They tell me i cant go over 8" wide all round and these wheels will fit the back but not the front :( wrong back spacing, they said a few ppl are running them on stangs but they dont know what they have done to run them.

What are you planning to do to the rear suspension and tubs to fit over an 8" rim?

Hi Chris,
Another option is the "Vintage Wheel Works" - V 60 wheel (http://www.vintagewheelworks.com/products/wheels/v60).
I have a set of these for my 66 Fastback.
