i have a 65 coupe and i did a swap identical to the granada swap (discbrakeswap.com) and i was wondering what it would take to put mach 1 rims on it. i realize i need 17x8s to cover the bs in the front, but would it fit with my set up? and what is the max wheel size on the rear. could i do 17x9s?

any help would be greatly appreciated

When you change to the Granada hubs, the only wheels that don't fit are 1965--1969 rims, and that's due to the larger hub diameter. The Magnums from that ere will fit. Modern stuff should be no problem for the hub sizing, it's just rim/tiire fit & back-spacing issues.

I have Granada front disks on my '66 coupe, and I plan to go with the Mach1 rims as well. (they sure look sweet on the classics!!) Haven't read or been concerned w/ any fitment issues... so it should work just fine!

for newer rims off a latemodel stang you will need spacers to clear the upper a frame
