Hi Guys & Gals,
I just found a set of 4 - 16" rims with P215/65R16 BF Goodrich with only 3,000 miles for $250. The rims are the "kind of" 10 spoke style from a 2006-2007-ish plain jane Mustang. Will the backspacing on this combo fit ok on my 68 coupe, or would I need spacers/adapters? The tires/wheels aren't what I really want, but on my tight budget they might be alright for temporary replacement of the 20+ year old 14" tires that I only trust for roll arounds. I figure that if I use them for some test running for a bit, I should be able to get some or most of the $$$ back.

Going to need spacers, the offset on new Stangs is totally different.

Check out all the details for that on my page, but I believe it was a 1.25" spacer. I like them, they look good and the spinners help the look.

I would almost try to get the 1.00" in the future, as they are a bit close, but I could measure the inside and outside spacing for you.

Thanx Again,

Here is a tip. Just because the tires only have a few miles on them doesn't mean they are good. If they are several years old, they are not worth anything.
