Howdy from Texas.
I bought my 1966 Mustang back in August of 2005. It has gone from crap to...prettier crap.
My question and dilemma is that of the wheels. I bought (4) 2006 16" Mustang Wheels off someone locally. They look great to me, almost Eleanor-ish but they only cost me $160 total.
The wheels fit on the car, as you can tell from the photo. But at the back you can tell the wheel barely fit on the car where I have only 2 lug nuts holding it on (I just wanted to take some photos with them on)
Now which route should I go?
Should I remove the original studs and press in new, longer ones and then just put a .5" spacer on the wheels so they dont rub on the inside...
OR
Buy those all-in-one spacers that have the lugs already pressed into them and all I do is bolt them on?
I want these wheels, but I dont know how or where to get the parts for them. They wheels fit the bolt pattern perfectly (kinda ironic, 40 years later ford returns to the original 5x4.50 bolt pattern) but the studs are no where long enough to accompany spacers.
Thanks and any comments on the vehcile are appreciated. As you can tell it is a restomod with no chrome/all lights relocated-removed/and it has no engine (yet)
