I know I have seen a thread asking about these type of rims.

I think the seller is confused!

What's a '72 Mustang Cobra?!?!?

 

[78CobraII]

They look to be a lot deeper on the back than on the front, so they are probably made for the '79+ Fox body Mustang. Probably somewhere between 12mm and 20 mm offset.

With a width of 6.75", they would fit a MII if they had zero offset, but any positive offset would make them a close fit.

They would look pretty cool on a '79-'83 restomod shrug Fox Mustang.

they are also a 4 x 4 1/2" bolt circle as opposed to our 4 x 4 1/4" pattern

I saw that, and assumed a misprint...but that would not be a good assumption.

These wheels may actually be for the 4-lug 1965-1968(?) Mustangs. They should fit pretty well on one of those, although they still look to have more positive offset than is usual for pre-1979 Mustangs.

Thanks for pointing out the lug spacing.

Our bolt pattern is 4 on 4 1/2".

 

[78CobraII]

Our bolt pattern is 4 on 4 1/2".

RTFM!

 

[78Mach1]

Our bolt pattern is 4 on 4 1/2".

News to me

Early 4 lug mustangs are 4 on 4.5". ours and the 4 lug foxes are 4 on 4.25 or 4 1/4".

Hi, that was me. But these aren't quite the same rims but my sincere thanks! would these actually fit? anyone know?

Dammit, I just made an ass out of myself. I screwed up my numbers with the 5 lugs. I'm going to go play in traffic now.

I've screwed up on here so many times I've quit counting!

Due to the deep backspacing, I think that this guy screwed up his lug spacing measurement and that these are actually Fox wheels with 4 x 4.25" spacing.

They look like they would be pretty close to needing a spacer to work on an MII.

Of course I've been wrong before.

Actually in today's ricer speak they are 4x108 like foci and contours

I've seen these wheels (just like these) before at local swap meets. They are infact the 4 on 4.5 pattern intended for the 60's Mustangs, Falcons and Comets. They are made by E-T Wheels. No one has been able to tell me if these wheels were available in the 4.25 pattern. The wheels that Impala is seeking are either made by E-T, Western, or Appliance wheel. (I have a trio of 5 lug 14" just like the ones Impala is looking for)
