Actually found these in an ad on stangnet from last year. Sent him an email and wouldn't ya know, he still had them, and they happened to be on ebay that same week. So I bought them, took 2 days to get here and they were just mounted by yours truly 30 minutes ago. Here are the specs.

American Racing Torq Thrust II's, 17x7 front, 17x9.5 rear, front bs is 4.5", rear is 5.75", rears are 275/40/17, forget what the fronts are. Tires are Nitto 555 Drag Radials......ohhh man I am stoked. Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting to have this car!?!? Now where's that 5 speed.......














Yes, I know my trunk lid is crooked lol......I just got the car 3 weeks ago.

Thanks guys!

Actually, the po couldn't tell me squat about it except that he bought it from a guy in 2001 that did the suspension. I had a look while I was putting the wheels on and I see red polyurethane bushings on a new looking swaybay, and kyb shocks all around.......maybe gas adjusts??? It might be a mustangs plus kit or something.....because the car is very very stiff and I'm starting to think its got 620's up front too. I'll check the leafs tomorrow. Thanks again all.

Just noticed the car is so dirty in the pics......paint wont shine with all that dust. Gotta snap some new ones then haha

Let me know if you ever want to trade mustangs.

I'll trade my white 289 auto ac/pb/ps 1967 for your green one

Nice look on the new wheels...good follow up to find what you like.

Are you going to post the old wheels somewhere? Send a link if they are already available.

That's a sweet looking car before and now it's totally awesome!! I won't even insult you by jokingly saying you could trade me cars! One day hopefully soon mine will look that nice.
