Do classic American Racing wheels like those on 60's Mustangs fit the 94-98 SN95 GT's ?

Alternatively what about Weld Draglites ?

Just remember that if you get original 1960's wheels they will be 14 inch off of a v-8 and 13 inch if off of a straight 6.

As long as the bolt pattern is 5x 4.5 (114.3mm) it will "fit"....the offset/backspacing may be off.

Those old wheels will look horrible on a new mustang though and they are like 14x6s lol

You would be way better off just buying a set of newer wheels with a similar design or drag wheels with a little width on them or something IMO.

Summit sells Crager wheels so you can buy the old school design in the proper sizes, either 15 or 17 inch wheels nad w/e widths you want.

I should have been a bit more clearer, I didn't mean actual original 14" 60's wheels from a 60's car, I meant 15" aftermarket American Racing type wheels that people put on their 60's Mustangs, like Torq Thrust D's or Centerlines/Outlaws etc

What size wheel/tyre combo do you think I would need at the rear to fill the arches for that dragster look ? Thanks

For the rears you can fill them nicely with 17x10 or 17x11 those sizes, from what I've experienced, will cause you to remove your quad shocks.

Thanks for the replies, Weld Draglites are quite hard to find over here in England

I had American Racing Outlaw 1's on my old 68 Charger, I quite like those

I don't think you'll fit 15s on the front due to the brakes, there may be some special 15s that work.

WTH would you want 15s? Does anyone make tires for 15s anymore? Other than drag tires anyway? I have a 65, and I don't even want 15s!! :)

I had 15" centerlines on the front of mine, just needed spacers to clear the brake calipers

Just out of curiosity...what part of England are you in? I spent much of my youth in deepest darkest Surrey.
