Code that has the the original factory styled steel wheels and i want to kind A up
date
semi resto mod the car. My car is not here in Arizona otherwise i would try um on for size.:watchout:

hey andy,
try going to www.tirerack.com, then scroll until you get to the '65 'stang. then choose "wheels", and a pic of the car will show up. you can even go to the upper left, and change the car color! now if i remember right, the bullit wheels look like the old school torq thrust?? they only have the 15" size, but you can at least get an idea of what they will look like.

hope this helps some,
paul

Thanks!Paul!...... I was hoping to see the wheel on a real car.....Here is the wheel 17x8 w/like
new tires and i was able to find um locally for 325 a set now all i need (me thinks) is
a one inch wheel spacer? so 325 deal or no deal?

The set you bought is from a 2005 and up Mustang. They will have a different offset than the 2004 and older Bullitt wheel. Just FYI

andy those wheels are nice. I might just put a set of those on my 86 canyon red daily (nice weather) coupe.

FOUND IT!................ and I need a 1" spacer to make it work....jim I don't think
these wheels look bad on anything!!!! the only reason i want um it to be able to get
vr rated tires in the future. I see these pop up on Craigslist all the time because
people want 18/19 or bigger?

I believe a factory 15 inch from a first generation Mustang had 4 to 4.5 inch backspace.

I have a set of the 05s (S-197s) on my SVO- they have a six inch backspace.

The earlier 94-04 (SN-95) cars had a 5.5 or 5.75 inch backspace- they are the ones pictured on both of the earlier cars- you can tell from the outer lip which is more pronounced on the early ones. The lip was reduced in 05 to fit the wider chassis of the S197 car.

You should need a longer spacer than that to run the S197 wheels. I would trade them for a set of SN-95s to both gain a more agressive lip and make fitment easier.

From the cars I have seen with spacers at 1' I would say that there is a lot more room to push them outwards before you hit the original wheels profile BUT you will have to content with rubbing in turns on the front valance if you go out too far- so it is a delicate balance.

[Andy]

well.....I bought 05 wheels in Arizona and drove um up to Idaho (where the 65 is) and I
put them on and had rubbing issues so I took um off and sold um on craigslist......the end.
I am now looking for 14 or 15in. five spoke what ever wheels like American 200S or
similar.These are the wheels on the car now

Andy, I like the wheels that are on it now. IMO it is the best looking for that style mustang.

[Andy]

These are the original 65 styled steel wheels and are correct for the car but i was thinking
of doing a kind a resto mod.The car is a real K code 4 speed and has disc brakes. I was
gonna restore this car first but was never sure of what i was gonna do....still not sure?
when the SSP came along that had a definite direction so i went to work.... IF i Find a
GT350 hood and front R type valance then it's going GT350 Rt.
