i like the look of the tires in this pic even though the rims arnt really visible thats the kinda stance i want from my stang. so what rim and tire combo would make it happen like this?(i think there all black rims)

and ona side note my 68 has only 4 lugs...i dnt think disc brakes will be in the future and adapters are to expensive...what should i do cuz the stockers are ugly

Wheel spacers are fine, but if you're looking to get decent-size rims and tires that don't hit, try going with a 15x7 wheel with 4 3/8" backspace. Add 245/50-15 tires and it will look like the rear of the car in the pic, except they'll tuck in better (I'd bet the house those tires hit the fenders). Those look like 8" rims to me, likely with about 3 3/4" of backspace.

This is not money well spent. Upgrade your suspension to the 5 lug v8 setup. Does your car actually have a v8 in it ?

If you are selling the car to someone who doesn't know jack squat then the rims are a better way to spend your money. I've actually heard people say they bought a car because they liked the rims that were on it.

If you are going to try and sell the car to anyone who knows about these cars then the v8 suspension is going to be what you want to put into the car. That being said, if you freshen up the suspension, you may find you like the car a lot more.

I'm sure you could get a set off of ebay for cheap. I bought my wheel spacers for 50 bux plus shipping for a pair.

Do you do any work on your own car or would you be paying someone to do the suspension. What level of mechanical experience do you have ?

In answer to your first question.

Not sure if those spacers will work or not, I don't know the measurements on the bolt circle for the early 4-lugs.
