Hey guys I'd just like to know whether or not these rims would fit my stock 66 mustang. It is 100% stock suspension.

Rims are 18x 8s, Bolt Pattern: 5 x 4.75 or 5 x 120.65, 40 mm offset 6 bsm (i guess that means back space measurement)

These rims are Boss 304s chromed, found a killer price on em.

5 lug Mustangs of all years are 5 x 4.5, not 4.75. It won't fit unless you put GM axles/spindles on...

# Bolt Pattern: 5 x 4.5

# Size: 18 x 8

# Offset: +40 mm

# Each wheel weighs 33 LBS.

Will that work?

i don't think there is any way to fit an 18 inch rim on a stock mustang . .even if you were to roll the fenders.

correct me if i'm wrong

It's going to need a 1 1/4" or so sized spacer.

What you are looking for to bolt on (no spacer) is 8-10MM offset on an 8" width.

you can fit a 18 x 8 in the rear, if you used the correct offset or used the spacers/adaptors to make up for it (you need a total of somewhere between 4- 4.75" depending on if you went 7 or 8"), and run some super low profile tires.

Have you looked at Dodgestang's chart?
