Does anyone know if a newer mustang (05 up) v6 wheel look good on classic stangs? Will they fit properly also? If anyone has done this, can you post pics or a link so I can see. I am thinking of getting a set for normal driving and putting my Cragars and DR's away for certain occasions. Thanks

I'm pretty sure the bolt pattern is the same, though the backspacing is way off. You'd need to get some big ole wheel spacers

As to whether they'd look good or not, I think they just might

I wonder what kind of spacing would be required to get them to fit right. They use the same bolt pattern as the SN95 stangs so the wheels will fit bolt wise.

They look pretty decent. They don't have the same flare as the original Halibrands though. Here is a link to reenmachines website. They put a set a 67.

I have a 66 with a set of 05 v6 wheels. I'm running them with a 1" spacer,the bolt pattern is the same. My car is lowered 1" in the front, so I had to roll the fenders, they only rub with a heavy load in the trunk, I think they look great.

I've got to hand it to you. Those wheels look real good on your car. They look better on that than on the fastback in the links. I may have to rethink my wheel choice. Are those 16x7's with the 235 tires?

Yes they are 16x7's. I was originally running 235's all the way around, but with my lowered front end I was getting some rubbing when cornering hard. My front tires ended up getting cut up a little so I decided to replace them. I went with 225's on the front and rolled my fenders at the same time. Now I have plenty of clearance.

If your not lowered in the front then I think they will fit fine. I probably could have got away with just rolling my fenders but I was replacing the tires anyway. Those are the 235's in the picture, they worked fine, just some minor rubbing when cornering hard. They best thing about that wheel and tire setup is you can usually come across a set a whole lot cheaper than buying aftermarket wheels and tires. I got wheels and tires, with only like 100 miles on them off of ebay for about $300
