Default Question about wheels for 1966 Mustang 4 lug

Does anybody know if I can use the "Rostyle" alloy wheels from an MGB? I know they are the 4 on 4.5 as my 4 lug mustang but I am not sure about back spacing. I can't find what the back spacing is. I know they aren't original to the Mustang, but I don't really like the stamped steel wheels with hub caps, and I like the look of the MGB "rostyle" wheels which are the same size as the Mustangs, 14". Here is a picture of what the rostyle wheels look like. I think they would look good on a Mustang with white wall or dual red line tires. Thanks, guys.

good idea, never thought of the mg's wheels. if the hole in the center is big enough, heck i say put them on. just be sure they are in good shape, etc. ya don't need them separating when you are oput cruizin'. American racing has some aluminum wheels that are nice also. i have 4 bolt decisions also. Good Luck in you endeavors to make it "your" mustang. jb1rd

Here's some intresting reading on those wheels which mentions the "'European Mustang"...

Hemmings Motor News: Rostyles

This might help too...

Rostyle Wheel

I like those wheels too!
