22" Wheels on a 1967

[HistoricMustang]

Well, IMHO, anything over 15" falls into the same category.

It is not "Classic".

Yuk!

Do you have the link to the ad plz? I need to post the pic on our local forum as a warning!

The ad already expired on Craig's List. There was another close pic of the wheels, but it looked worse than the first image I posted (I think I deleted it already). I will keep the current image up, so others can have a good laugh.

I always think of covered wagon wheels from the old west when I see those things...good god man!

Now that I think about it, you're right

That is great.

I agree 100%. Remember several years ago when the real small OD tires that stuck way out were in style. Hopefully this ignorance will pass soon too.

anyone see the episode of overhaulin when they put 22's on that wheelchair dude's 67 fast back? THOSE 22s looked slick.

They car was a waaay different story! Everything kinda went with the style and theme they were going for, not just "bigger is blinger".

I liked everything about that particular show EXCEPT those wheels. That made the whole car suck.

I had a good laugh too when I got the idea.

I thought I would bring this thread up from the dead because yesterday at the Mustang's Plus car show another one showed up.

On the other hand I added a clean looking fastback (parked right across from the wagon) to add some relief.

Now that's hot! It is a little more tasteful than the Mustang that started this exchange. I bet that if you told someone in 1967 that you were going to put 17" or 18" wheels on a Mustang, that you would have been met with much criticism as well. Not all large wheels look good on a Mustang, or any car for that matter. But remember, it's all a matter of opinion and a person's idea of beauty.

I think 17 inch wheels look good on these cars, depending on the style of course. You get enough tire, they look good and allow for larger brakes.

I just want to say that this guy, hands down, was one of the friendliest Mustang owners there. There were quite a few guys that weren't friendly at all(how should I say this?....stuck up maybe), but they sure had nice cars! Anyway, I absolutely loved what he did with this fastback. Simple, sexy, and straight to the point. I didn't stay to see who won what... Does anybody know?

 

[Tubo(2-bo)]

I amaze myself when seeing cars in person that dont look bad at all w/17's&18's, while the same cars in photos look like ahss.




But then again who'd think of me as opiniated?

 

[enferno]

might as well throw on a lift kit and turn that thing into a monster truck

 

[blown65]

geez, even if you like big wheels, thats just terrible.

I wish that fad would go away, but people who live in the SouthEast are not gonna let that crap go anytime soon I am afraid.

Google: Donks, Boxes, Bubbles, etc.

The only solution to this problem is View attachment 430578

And even then you fall short of ending the fad...
