It took some work to get the 17" Cobra R wheels to fit, with the 245/45ZR17s up front and 275/40ZR17s on the front. But it handles pretty good now, so it was worth the effort.

I found this short 4" cowl scoop on ebay, so I bonded it onto the steel factory hood. It gives enough clearance for the motor, and I like the way it looks.


2nd gear launch at 8000 rpm, just for the smoke. Old wheels/tires and hood:

Car looks and sounds great, however I am not a fan of tire / wheel combinations above 15" on the Mustang II while the tires may support straight line performance the center of gravity appears too high visually. just my .02, still a beautiful ride.

Weird, I tried to post this topic last night, and after I hit the submit button, it said some error had taken place, and when I checked the forum, it wasnt listed. Now it's on here, but the img tags didnt work, for some reason. I don't see an edit button, either.. hmm.

Anyway, thanks for the compliment. I didnt like the look of the wheels much at first either, but they grew on me. I put them on there for two reasons; 1) I got the 4 wheels and tires, with only about 500 miles on them for $400, I couldnt pass up a deal like that, and 2) I wanted serious handling, and these fit the bill nicely. The added benefit is the speed tolerance, and I can drive on them flat, since the sidewalls are so ridgid. It worked out pretty well, but I see new wheels(probably weld convo dragstars) in the car's future.

Oh yeah, and it's supposed to say 275/40s on the back, not on the front, stupid typos.

Car looks really nice. But I to am not a big fan of those wheels and tires. Other than that looks and sounds nice.

I still had the original style 13" wheels on the front of my car for about 15 years. haha
