At the risk of always going with a Torque Thrust style wheel all the time, these look killer on the car.
Maybe 1" narrower so they clear better, though...

Fronts are 17x7 with 4.72" bs 235x45 (would prefer 4.375" bs for better scrub radius, but then fenders probably would not clear)

Rears are 17x8 with 5.72" bs 245x45 

I have Versailles rear end (wider than stock) + 1/4" spacers, so don't compare that to a stock rear end width.

Here's a site I found for tire fitment on our cars http://www.dodgestang.com/Tire%20Fitment%20Guide%2065-6.pdf

GaryPatrick,

You have a 65/66 I believe? What are your plans for fitting the 9" wheels on the back - any mods? Looking at my car (66) it looks like a 9" with the 5.5" backspacing might fit in the stock rear wells with  a 255/45 and no mods to the inner wheel housing. The c-67s are nice looking, did you go with the machined finish? What calipers are you runnng up front?

I live in the Denver area.  I'm actually heading over to the SLC area in two weeks on business.  Coy's used to be in Denver and they hosted a big swap meet at Bandimere which is where I picked up the wheels.  I had my neighbor look at the wheels - he has extensive experience with 66's - and he is pretty sure I can get them to work.  According to Coys, they will fit a 67 nicely but a 66 will need to have rolled fenders in back, which I plan to do.  There is a little issue on the inner fender that will require some tweaking but not tubs.  We set a 275 tire on a late model wheel in there and it kinda fits but with some surgery.  I hope to run a 245 or 255.  I bought the TCP four link coil setup in back and the lower control arm is narrower than the leaf spring so this really helps on the inside with the backspacing.  I plan on getting tires over the holidays so I can so final fit-up and banging before paint, etc.  I have the MS kit up front for the GT brakes (2008 or so) and the clearance on the spindle and caliper with the wheel is great.  In back I am running Cobra brakes and they also fit well in the wheels.  I will probably end up trimming and pushing the front lip of the fender forward to get a 235 up there.  I have also installed a camber adjustment kit to hopefully pull the wheels in an 1/8 or better.  I hope it all works and if it doesn't I'll try something else.

And... I got the machined wheels.  The chrome wheels were a little too chromey for my tastes but to each his own.

Dude, I feel your pain.  After I narrowed it down to 4 wheels, it took me 3 years to decide on the one to get.  The wife and kids gave me crap the entite time.  I finnaly decided which ones and baught them.  Don‘t worry about anyones oppinion but your own.  You are the one who has to be happy with then.  Good luck!!  L8tr  Steve

Another interesting note about Denver. Wheels works HQ.is in Denver, and they happen to own American racing wheels. I personally like the torque thrust m. But, I ended up buying the ridler 695 chrome, as they seem to be built a little nicer and I got a better deal. That being said, the torque thrust have a nicer center cap that actually bolts to the wheel and is not chromed plastic.  Ridler has another wheel with the sharper rib, like the black ones you had pictured.  But, go with what you like the best. I was gonna go with black wheels as they are $100 cheaper per set than chrome, but MS and others to save up and go with the chrome.....glad I did.
