Talking about the rims that came stock on 03/04 Mach 1 models, anyone have a pic with them on a 67 or 68 and what kind of trouble involved in getting them on? A coworker may sell me their 67 fastback which I have a pic in my mind of Legend Lime paint, these rims, and a late model Cobra engine...
Retro Magnum500 wheels on a 67/68?

Yes you can get the rims to fit. This company makes a nice kit.

The Cobra engine can fit but takes alot of work, most use a Mustang II style front end setup to get it to fit. This requires removing the existing shock towers.
Good luck on whichever way you decide to go with it.

Sure seems easy...but in the end I'll probably have to get a different readend in there...disc brakes, different suspension, hopefully not flare the fenders any (those retro magnums have a stock 245 tire)...wish I had some money!
Thanks for the input

I had them on my '68. At the time I LOVED the look, but as time has passed, I'm not as hot on them anymore. I don't think they have enough of a "deep dish" look to them for a classic car...look at some pics in my rather rudimentary garage gallery I've set up tonight.
Anyway, here's the setup I had:
620 front coils
Mustangs Plus 4.5 leaft mid-eye rear leafs
KYB Gas-A-Just shocks up front, cheapo adjustible air shocks out back (not a huge fan of air shocks, but they came with the car and worked, so they stayed)
(if I recall correctly) 1.25" spacers
Contenental ContiExtreme Contact 245/45ZR17 meats
Never had any rubbing nor did the wide tires take a toll on my steering system. The added traction from the bigger tires more than made up for the added unsprung weight as far as braking goes.
