Anyone know if these will fit on a 78 Mustang II???

They are 4-lug (4 on 4 1/4). There are two 17" x 8" (+12mm with 4.95" backspacing) for the front and two 17"x 9" (+24mm with 5.95" backspace) for the rear.

I really do not know if I want to get them but I thought they looked very cool!

Not without spacers all around, I've got 16x8s with 12mm BS all around. I use 1.5" spacers and the front still almost hit the upper control arm at full turn and I have about 3/4" between the tire and the springs in back. I'm running 225/40s front and 245/45s on the back. Without spacers your front will contact the control arm and in the rear your tire would probably not clear the leaf springs.

Very cool, Thanks!

Do you happen to have a pic of your car with these Wide/Tall Tires on it? I just wanted to get an idea of what mine would look like with them on it!
Thanks again,
