Actually I used a set of Team III Halibrand look alikes's in 17 x 8 front, 17 x 9 1/2 rear. $300 apirce, spinners extra. They also make a 17 x 11 if you want to use a bigger tire. I used 235/45ZR17 front, 275/40ZR17. This is plenty for my driving, but with a big block, you might want to consider the 11" wheel with 305/35 or 315/35 tires in back.

That being said, if you're using a Mustang II front end, you need to get and hold a front end alignment. Not easy the way Ford designed it. bethania-garage.com has Mustang II upper control arm brackets for $100 a pair. Aligns with shims, GM style, and stays aligned.

Send me an e-mail (jwalsh21@ix.netcom.com) and I'll return a set of shots with the sheel & tire setup on the car.
