Help With Wheels

Kastanek01 · 04-14-2003, 06:44 AM

I own a 69 Mustang Coupe and I am looking at buying some new wheels for her. I recently ran into a set of 4 17X8 American Eagle Wheels with 5 spoke "Cobra R" style. They are 5 on 4.5 inch bolt pattern with 5 and 15/16 inch back spacing(+38mm offset). I was wondering if these could fit, and if that is the right bolt pattern. I am pretty sure all 5 bolts are 5 x 4.5 inch pattern. Just need some feedback about spacing. Thanks alot

The chart is helpful but you'll also need some special wheel spacers. There is a kit to mount late wheels on early cars. Its about $300. Spacers are about 1" thick. I've seen them advertized in a number of magazines.
