lmk= Let Me Know  Just opinion, but I don't like them on early cars... I like the wheelwells full of tire, not wheel. You are talking about the late-model 17" wheels, correct? ------------------

Although I really like the 17x8 Bullit/GT wheels, I don`t know if they will fit, due to the large backspacing. Yesterday I tried fitting these wheels from a 2002 GT Mustang onto my 59 full size Ford, & the rim hit the upper ball joint well before the wheel was sitting on the drums hub surface. On the rear, the rim was less than a inch from the leaf spring. Not much room for tire bulge. Plus I would never run wheel spacers to make the wrong size wheel fit the car.------------------

YOU DON'T USE SPACERS YOU USE ADAPTERS, THEY BOLT ONTO THE HUB AND THEN YOU BOLT THE WHEEL UP TO THE ADAPTER.
