Later Model Wheels on Classic.

Yes, you need spacers. Many Mustang parts houses carry them. They bolt onto the existing studs and have their own studs to match the metric spacing of the late model rims. I believe they go for upwards of $200 for four.

Hi James. I bought 1.25" spacers to put 2003 17x8 Mach 1 wheels on my '69 Mach. It has more fender clearance so the extra 1/4 inch looks good. I think

1" spacers would be good on an earlier car. I also have a set of 17x8 bullit wheels and the back spacing is the same as my machs. I bought my spacers on ebay for 67.00 a set.

I believe it depends upon the wheels and the size, as well as any changes you might have made to suspension, drivetrain, brakes, etc.

. My 65 16x8" rims and 225/50Z16s (could have gone to 245s on the rear) and no spacer was required.

I love torque thrust 2s but bought my late model mach1s and bullets for about 100 bucks each plus 35.00 each wheel for spacers.

I got my Vintage 40s at about 50% off direct because they were blems, though you have to look really close to find what's wrong. That freed up funds to use in other areas of the restoration and modifications.

Ya gotta save where ya can. My set cost around $600 IIRC. The difference paid for a complete fr>I love torque thrust 2s but bought my late model mach1s and bullets for
