Yes 17x8, 4.75 bs
Lowering it any more in the front will result in rubbing, at least the way I drive

Agreed, I trimmed 1 coil off a set of GT coils. The drop after springs settling and all is about 1.5" and I deffinetly would not reccomend going lower! I had to roll my fenders to keep from rubbing, and I scrape occasionally!

My tires are a 225/60/15 with 4.5" bs. Will try to post pics tomorrow

I finally got out there to measure for you. These measurments are from the ground to the lip of the wheel opening at the wheel centerline.

Front 25 3/4"
Rear 26 1/8"

Thanks, I've been wondering about this for 3 1/2 years since I did the suspension on my 65

I like those cars mod, niiice, but what I don't get is why are they both the same year, both with shaved handles, and both with the same wheels? Or is it the same car in two different colours?

It's a little low for me, but it's not my stang. Looks alright though, bet it turns heads like crazy. Andit looks like there's two cars parked side by side, look at the shadow in the first pic, and you can see another coupe through the green coupes window in the second pic. Also, I might be wrong, but it looks like ttII's on the black one and 200s(s200?) wheels on the green. Nice cars.
