[DeTomaso] mustang wheels

[Curt Hall]

"I'm sure it depends on which Mustang Wheels your talking about? What year and what type of Mustang wheel as to the back spacing, seems there are many! The ones I found and figured would fit and look good (at least in my eyes) are Mustang R Wheels from ASF Wheels. The sizes Fronts 17x8 BS 5.24---Backs 17x10.5 BS 6.63 the back may need a small spacer maybe not? Like Mike said, the 17x9" wheels up front may be to wide? But there again I'm sure there are many Panteras out there running a 17x9" on the front?

Which Mustang wheels are you referring to?

Hall used to sell 17x9 Mustang Cobra wheels for the Pantera.   The fronts 
were too wide, and the rears were too narrow to fit properly without spacers. 
  That is, the rear wheels looked much like the stock 15x8 Campagnolo 
wheels, which is to say, too narrow to fill the fenders properly.   In front, the 
17x9 wheels stick out a fair bit and the tires would beat the hell out of 
the stock fender lips.

Having said that, they would look great on the front of a car with GTS 
flares, and matching wheels can be had in 17x10 or 17x11 with custom offset to 
fit the rear fenders too.
