Are there any late model Mustang wheels that will fit on my '65? Some of the current factory designs would look pretty good and I think they could be had for cheap. I need to get new tires so I would rather upgrade to 16" wheels if possible. Low profile tires would be a welcome change to the 70 series 14's that are on it now. Any ideas or better yet, experience?

You will need a spacer to run anything more than 4.75" backspacing. 4 spacers run about $140. Late model rim backspacing usually varies between 5.00" and 5.75"

Ok, thanks for the info. I just bought some aluminum 16" 5 spoke late model Mustang wheels. I don't know the backspacing yet but I'm sure I'll need spacers. Where do you get those spacers?
