Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / July 2005Later Model Wheels on Classic.
I have a 1965 Mustang GT Fastback. What do I need to do to put late model stock wheels (ie. Bullit wheels) on my car? Spacers? Thickness? 5 lug spacing correct? Thanks! > I have a 1965 Mustang GT Fastback. What do I need to do to put late model > stock wheels (ie. Bullit wheels) on my car? Spacers? Thickness? 5 lug > spacing correct? Yes, you need spacers. Many Mustang parts houses carry them. They bolt onto the existing studs and have their own studs to match the metric spacing of the late model rims. I believe they go for upwards of $200 for four. 180 Out Hi James. I bought 1.25" spacers to put 2003 17x8 Mach 1 wheels on my '69 Mach. It has more fender clearance so the extra 1/4 inch looks good. I think 1" spacers would be good on an earlier car. I also have a set of 17x8 bullit wheels and the back spacing is the same as my machs. I bought my spacers on ebay for 67.00 a set. http://search.ebay.com/mustang-wheel-spacers_W0QQsofocusZbsQQsbrftogZ1QQfromZR10 QQsacatZ-1QQcatrefZC6QQmppfqyZmustangQ20wheelQ20spacersQQsargnZ-1QQsaslcZ2QQftrt Z1QQftrvZ1QQsadisZ200QQfposZ95655QQfsopZ1QQfsooZ1QQcoactionZcompareQQcopagenumZ1 QQcoentrypageZsearch  SignatureMark -- "I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates who once said, "I drank what?".

I believe it depends upon the wheels and the size, as well as any changes you might have made to suspension, drivetrain, brakes, etc. . My 65 16x8" rims and 225/50Z16s (could have gone to 245s on the rear) and no spacer was required. You may find, since they have become so popular, Bullitt wheels in the correct size and backspacing so you can just bolt them on as mine did. Of course, that's using aftermarket wheels as opposed to OEM wheels. >I have a 1965 Mustang GT Fastback. What do I need to do to put late model >stock wheels (ie. Bullit wheels) on my car? Spacers?

That freed up funds to use in other areas of the restoration and modifications. Ya gotta save where ya can. My set cost around $600 IIRC. The difference paid for a complete front suspension rebuild, or the Flaming River steering box. >I love torque thrust 2s but bought my late model mach1s and bullets for >about 100 bucks each plus 35.00 each wheel for spacers.
