My brother needs to know the biggest size rim with the biggest size tyre in a 15".
Would a 8 1/2" rim with a 245-60-15 fit under the guard?
It has a 5" rear offset with a standed length diff and sits very low.

Thanks.

I think I have an article in one of my mustang mags about what wheel sizes and offsets fit which mustangs. I can probably copy that and get that to you if your brother is interested.

Yeah he would be interested, thanks.

I had a quick squiz and found one article that states 17x8's are the biggest for the 67-8's... That would be front and rear.
225/60/15's fit nicely all the way around, I don't see why a 245/60/15 wouldn't fit under the rear. Has the rear wheel arch lip been rolled??

I'll keep looking and see what else I can find...

Hold on a second... I'll point you to what you need to know.

Yep

I will get him to have a look at that site. Thanks EBXR.

No worries!

No worries!

Just one more thing. He read the attachment and it says you can get 15" x 8" with the 225-60-15, but do you know or does anyone else know if he can get a 245-60-15 to fit?

 

[C0V3R]

Front or rear?
Front you'll have problems

 

[Laurz]

Rear

 

[C0V3R]

Should be doable depending on how stiff/saggy the rear springs are and how much youve flared the rear. I have no real problems with mine, except my rear springs are abit too saggy, and with extra people in the back its no good.

 

[Laurz]

Thanks

Perhaps go to a race meeting where they are racing the group N historic touring cars and have a chat to the guys racing the Mustangs. They stuff 8" rims and big rubber under those.

Also the table in the attachment lists 9" rims on the rear and 265/275 tyre widths on larger dia rims, so 245 on 15" might be ok.

He's buying the mags today actually, but if he doesn't then I'll suggest the race meeting to him.

What style is he going for??
