I was kind of wanting to go with some 15x7's but will that be too wide all around? Could i possibly fit the 15x7's in the back? One more thing... if i got 14's could i get the wider like a 14x7? thank you so much for your help.

I ran 14x7 front and 14x8 rear crager SS rims on 65 for years. The 4.25 backspacing seemed to fit the best for me.------------------

It depends on which year Mustang you have. 15x7s are small on my '72, for example.------------------

The 15 x 7's will fit if you use a low enough profile tire. The backspacing will need to be 4 inches. 225/65/15's will fit with no issues on a 7 inch wide wheel. At least this is the case for a 69 and I'm not sure what model you have. There's quite a few threads on tire and wheel size with tons of good info.
