SN95 GT wheels with 1" spacer require a tiny bit of grinding on the front upper control arm to clear at full steer.  Cut springs might eliminate the need to grind.

If you prefer the shape of the S197 version instead, a 2" spacer is required.

Those wheels are beautiful.  There's no shortage of wheels that look good on classic Mustangs.

Who's white Mustang is that?  Agreed on that wheel package and how they come out to the edge of the wheel opening on the body.

Looks like Angry's garage from my recollection of working on the MonZora.   No idea on the car though.

To the original request I prefer the Minilite look and that's what I installed on my Cougar.

I agree with Wally and for those interested there were a set of 15" Campagnola Pantera wheels for sale recently on Detroit CL.

Yeah, Torq-Thrust D's and Minilites in a proper 15xWIDE size absolutely rule the school on classic Mustangs (and most other pony cars). It's really hard to top.

This is no doubt a function of when and where I grew up but I've got a soft spot for Cragar SS wheels on just about any '60s car including Mustangs.

I am not sure there is a better wheel than a torque thrust on a Mustang. But I have always wondered what  old school JDM wheels would look like on a 60s Mustang. 

 

Work and other manufacturers made 5 lug versions of some of their more iconic wheels in the early 80s. They might even be the right offset too because they were made for rwd cars. 

My buddy sells a lot of RPF-1 to the Subaru crowd.   A trial fitment on the Cougar is coming this year.
