I'm assuming you've got the aftermarket 18" versions since the OEM versions were 17", right? Anyway, for adapters, it's probably best to actually measure the needed backspacing yourself, especially if the wheels are aftermarket unless you know for sure they have the exact same offset as the OEM versions.

All of that said, you might check www.karkraft.com since they sell adapters for adapting late model wheels to early Mustangs.

One last thing... post pics when you get it done. I'm planning on using 17" versions of the Mach wheels on my '70 Mach, so I'd be interested to see the potential results.

Hope this helps.

They are just spacers, and you can get them all over the place.

I agree with DarkBuddha. Get the wheels 1st, then test fit them to figure out what backspacing you need and thus, what size spacer you want.

You need a 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern spacer.
