    I'm an idiot and lost my only keys to the car

    Heck, pop the hood attach a clip lead to the run part of the solenoid, use a screw driver to crank till it fires and then drive the whole car to the lock smith and have new keys made....just take proof of ownership since it will look like you stole it ;)

    1965 Mustang Fastback

    I am considering selling one of my mustangs to make a dynamic change in my lifestyle, one that a large, lump sum of money would help me achieve. I haven't had any life changing events, I haven't lost my job, I haven't had another kid; everything is actually going pretty good for me right now but...

    I've decided to put a 331 in my car and have a question.

    The name 'Deathtrap' is taken. :D

    fitment

    changing from an 8 inch wheel with 4.5 backspacing to an 8 inch wheel with 4 inch backspacing will move the wheel out towards the fender .5 inch. So, no. You can however put a 235 on the wheel you have now, make sure you the upper a arms lowered, and check to make sure the Shelby alignment...

    getting a 245/45/17 to fit on the front

    Judging by your sig photo....you have 0 camber (maybe even positive). Did you provide alignment specs to your shop or just ask them for an alignment. The stock specs for the car are no longer all that good after the shelby drop and the addition of modern tires.

    getting a 245/45/17 to fit on the front

    If you: 1. Downsize to a 245 40 17 2. Perform Shelby drop 3. Run a stiff spring and good shock (I have 620 drop springs and IAS shocks) 4. Run an aggressive alignment (-2 camber) 5. Use 4.75 backspacing You can run them without rolling your fender lips ;) I can say that with some certainty...

    New Wheel and Tire Spec ?'s

    1. Don't know 2. Don't know because I don't know 1 3. Alot of threads ;) Sorry I can't be more help on the stud issue. :shrug: I do know studs are readily available so it isn't like you have mail order them and wait. You can get everything you need and get them at Napa (maybe even...

    New Wheel and Tire Spec ?'s

    Most likely. I run 3 inch studs and open acorns in the back because of drag racing so I never ran into that problem, I would suspect you will need longer studs though in the rear.

    New Wheel and Tire Spec ?'s

    Spacers: I wouldn't go over 1/2 inch. I ran a 3/8 spacer on one side in the rear of my 65 for a short time (long story but the 3 link and watts fixed that issue ;) ) I got a false tight once and lost 4 of 5 lugs, broke 3 studs, had the wheel start wobbling and almost lost control of the...

    New Wheel and Tire Spec ?'s

    I have no doubt that the 275 will work on 1967 mustangs. Based on information I have received when creating the wheel charts 1/2 spacer was used on wheels with that backspacing to provide visual parity on the track width/wheel inset front to back not necessarily to make it all fit, they also...

    New Wheel and Tire Spec ?'s

    I believe you will want a spacer in the rear as well.

    Would these rims fit?

    Through the use of adapters to adjust the backspacing to 4.75 inch those wheels can work/will work on the car. You will need different tires however (in case you are looking at new take offs) since the newer mustangs have 55 series 17s which are taller (larger over-all outer diameter) than...

    Would these rims fit?

    While the offset is incorrect for some vintage mustang they could work with adapters however they will not fit for you even with those. 9 inch is too wide for the front of a 66.

    Wheel Offset & Width Chart (covers wide wheels/high positive offsets)

    Looks a little familiar.... https://www.rsracing.com/images/tech-wheeloffset.gif But all charts tend to follow a similar 'vien'...you certainly have some 'interesting' larger size wheels ;)

    351C Max overbore

    My 410 is .040 over. It runs a little warm (then again I have tiny little aluminum radiator in the my 65) but it's ok and has not overheated on me...but then again I also don't drive it when it is over 90 degrees because it has no AC and I don't get stuck in stop and go traffic. .040 is pretty...
