1966 coupe with 2005-2009 wheels

[Stugots50]

Would I have a problem with these wheels on a 66 coup wheel drum brakes?
The lug pattern is 5 on 4.5 inches (114.3mm) which fits many 5 lug Ford, Lincoln, and mercury cars.
Any help woulb be much appreciated. Thanks

They should bolt up, but the back space is much bigger than the typical rims for a '66. It will move the tire more inboard on your set up. My suggestion would be to test fit one on the front and rear and see where the rim lips will sit and then decide if they are for you.

isn’t that usually done with spacers?

 

[KRUISR]

It can be. Personally I would prefer no spacers.

You will have to use spacers or they will hit the control arms in the front ,i believe they have close to 1 1/2 more inset

I ran those wheels for awhile on my coupe(to roll around before I replaced them). They require 1.5" spacers all around. I loved the way they look...but because of the front brake kit I wanted I was forced to go to 17s instead(in reality you have a lot more options for all kinds of things with 17" wheels)

These should secure in place, but the rear spacing appears noticeably larger than the standard rims for a '66. This could potentially shift the tire further inward in your setup. I recommend test-fitting one on both the front and rear to determine where the rim lips will be positioned before deciding if they are suitable for your needs.
