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

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

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 have found some better pictures of what the 65 will look like when it is done!
these are the wheels! now i need the 350 hood and R front valance

It is a REAL K Code car (hipo 289) gone and replaced with i mild cam hydraulic
lifter 289 but basically when it is complete it will look like this! but Black n no
stripes.

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.
