Billy - why not go with a 15X7 wheel - or do you have bigger disc brakes?

considering the 17x7 with 4.25 backspace seems to be lots of options there.
I like those 17x7 Shelby 10 spokes
I wish I had went with smaller brakes Cause I would have just went with some Torque Thrust in 15x7 for sure.

As far as Shelby ten spokes are concerned , they seem to loose the esthetic proportions in the 16-17” sizes
IMO they don’t look as good as the 15”, interesting how much of a noticeable difference an inch or two makes.
For me old Mustangs need lots of sidewall

Billy - there are custom wheel companies out there that will make what one wants; it is an expensive undertaking though.
