Default Best Source - 1967 Mustang 14" Magnum 500 Wheels

Just purchased a '67 Mustang convertible and am about to convert the front brakes from drum to power disc.

Problem is I have 14" tires/wheels with 4 lugs and most of the conversion kits will modify the front wheels to a 5 lug set up. My tires are nearly brand new, so I am hesitant to scrap them. I am told that I can purchase 14" Magnum 500 wheels that will fit these conversions.

Any recommendations for the best source to purchase these from?

Also open to other ideas that will allow me to convert the brakes without sacrificing the new tires.

This may be a little late but National Parts Depot, www.npdlink.com has 14x7" 5 lug wheels. Give them a try.

Default disc brakes

If you will be converting from shoe to disc brakes, the 14" wheels will not work. You have to have at least 15 X7 wheels.
