I can't decide between the 17's and 18's for my 67. I have seen many with 17's, but 18's are much harder to come by, and I would like to do something different(and my friend has nice 18" tires I can have )
I did a search and came up dry for stangs with 18" wheels..... POST EM UP!
you will not see many older stangs with 18's. IMO they are too large a wheel for a classic stang. I would say don't get bigger than 17 inch. Sorry I dont have any pics to show you but this is just my opinion on the subject.
thats why I made the post, I havent seen many classics with 18's, but I'm sure its just like any 17" wheel, because any 17" wheel can also make a car look either great, or terrible. I'm sure there are plenty 18" wheels that look terrific, but MANY MORE that make it look horrific, which gives having a 18" wheel on a classic stang more stigma then a 17".
I also like to break from the norm and be different when It comes to my cars
I'm thinking if an 18" wheel is gonna look good on a classic, its gotta have a minimal of material(small surface area w/ large openings)..... kind of hard to explain.... but similar to the wheels above.

I would not want to hit a pot hole with 18" tires on it. Look at that pic...the odds of damaging a rim are pretty good. And to me that's too much money to have to worry about that. But hey...it's all about what you like right. I wish you luck my friend
I have 18's to go on mine but no pics on this computer. You can damage any wheel if you hit a pot hole but yes the lower the side wall the easier it is to damage.
