I want to box up the factory 14 inchers on my mach 1 and go to Magnum 500s. I plan on using 15x7s all around, what backspace are you guys running? Or what is the standard one to run?

Thanks

generally a 15x7 wheel has a backspacing of 3 3/4 - 4". some as much as 4 1/4".

if its an option, you can go wider on the wheels,
the 69-70 mustangs have lots of room for big rubber
