Before TeamIII came out with their 17"er, was pretty set on a set of Centerline Style 13, then adding the Image spinners for a period correct look. Think vintage wheels now makes a Torque Thrust D style wheel in a 17" now. They had them in 16" for the longest time, but 16" tire availability is getting worse. Howcomeizit wheel manufacturers are so slow to pick up on tire trends? Now everybody, even Edelbrock, is making 17"ers.

Have Stainless Steel Brakes 4 piston caliper w/ 11" (Grenada) rotor in front, and SVO Mustang rear disk brake conversion kit w/ 10" ('87 -'89 T-bird turbo coupe) rears. This is about as much brake as can be stuffed into a 15" wheel, and the car does stop well. Brakes just look a little diminutive inside the 17" wheels.

Baer has a 13" front setup for MII front spindles, and 12" rear w/parking brake that I'm eyeballing for an upgrade. Think they also have an 11" or 11 1/2" rear rotor that would work with both 15" and 17" wheels.
