Hey guys, I found a killer deal on wheels and I will let you know as soon as I get them, where to get them for yourself. I am getting 17x8 Edelbrocks for my 68 mustang (original w/ a 302). I need to know, and I know this is stupid but I don't have time to research. Can you tell me the bolt pattern size and what backspacing I would need. I am trying to fill up the wheel well, so I have rolled the lips. :hail2:

Thanks very much!!!

For the wheels you want 4.75 BS and 4.5x5 bolt spacing

As far as tires go, I don't know the specific on your car to help you maximize your rubber but if you look at the combos on the wheel chart compared to your setup you will have a very good idea what to get. For a basically stock car (height and brakes) you should be able to run a 225 or 235 45 17 without rubbing....the shelby a arm mod is highly recommended.
