FYI Ford, Classic Mustang Tech Discussion » Looking for Spacer Info » 11/14/2017 7:32 PM |
Ended up with a set of 2007 Bullitt style wheels for my 66. Figured for $150.00 for wheels and tires I couldn't go too wrong. The back of the wheel says 17x8 45MM offset, I'm running the 13.2" brakes from a 2013 GT, How big of a spacer/adapter do I need? 1.5" sound right?

Late model cobra 1994-2004 8" x 17" wheels have 5.72" backspacing and will require a 1" spacer in order to clear the upper control arm (nothing to do with brakes).
With that spacer, you are guaranteed tire rub with normal or lowered ride height.
Guaranteed tire rub? That doesn't sound good.

Back on the wheel hunt again. Got sidetracked a bit. Had to put a roof on the house. How bout 2003-2004 Cobra wheels? Just looking for something to push the car around on while I decide on a final set up at this point.

I was thinking 7 wide in the front and 8 in the back. Not sure if they will clear the calipers though. It's looking like I will have to roll the fender lips anyway although I really don't want to.

Would you think these would be a possibility?3kAAOSw~y9ZDdmi&vxp=mtr
4.26 backspace, -6 offset

I was hoping not to run spacers but looks to be unavoidable. Bummer. I called/emailed a couple of local places here to see if they narrowed wheels but no luck. There's a couple of sets of bullitt wheels on KSL, the biggest classifieds thing in the area(Craigslist doesn't have the traction in this state for some reason) ranging from 300 ish to 500.00. If I have to do the spacers I might just grab a set of those for the time being. Till I can get some other info on other options.

New wheel question. Taking a liking to the American Racing Torq Thrusts and they look to be pretty inexpensive. Should look good with the Litium Gray paint I'm doing on the car. I see that they have a bunch of different models. I like the originals the best, but which would fit with the 13.2 GT brakes you think?

I would love to post some pics but I keep getting your verification code is invalid or something. Is there a trick to this?

Can't seem to post a pic unless its gigantic. How do you post a regular size pic?

I'm playing around with adapting a 2015 booster and master cylinder over to my 66. It's a 1" master bore master cylinder and its super short. The set up clears the shock tower by a mile. Tons of room. That part is good. I'm wondering if I'm going to run into a bunch of other issues doing this though. Any thoughts?

Right on. I think thats the ticket. I'm searching out a place around here that narrows the wheels. Think I found one but waiting to hear back from them. Although looking at some aftermarket wheels today it looks to be less $ or at least the same just to buy a set with the right backspace set up and width. OEM wheels would be cool though.

but they will clear the brakes and I could have them narrowed if push came to shove? If I can find a place that does that around here

You think a set off a 2001 Bullitt would fit? They are 17", I found a set for $500.00 and they look to be pretty nice. wheels and tires. Seems like an okay deal

Well, Coys say they aren't making the C67 right now so that's out. The Retro wheels are an option. Any others running the 13.2 brakes with other 17 inch wheel options?
FYI Ford, Classic Mustang Tech Discussion » Wheels with 13.2 brake set up » 2/19/2017 10:05 AM |
Definitely helps. Sounds like I need to get a measurement for those wheels. Think I'll email them and see what I can come up with. Did you have to roll the fenders or did they clear okay as is?

Going to do the 13.2" brakes from a 2013 on my 66. The instructions with the kit says 17's may fit but 18's will for sure. I'm wanting to do the machined coys c-67 wheels in 17". I guess my question is if anyone is running the bigger brakes and 17" wheels? Or are the 18's okay without rolling the fenders?
