if u want 15's the first one on this page is one for our cars, no spacers .
American Racing Vintage
60's n 50's will fit. if you want 14's watch ebay or chk some shops for the kinda generic chrome steel wheels they sell.

You can only get em in 7x15 rims, but u can fit a fat tire on a 7 inch rim..... i had a 295/50-15 on a 7 inch camaro rim... i doubt u can go that big, but youll have to measure once ya get em to fine out the widest u can run

nope, not many extra parts ---- yet. But i do have a guy i deal with in IL, that probably has one. if ya can wait till i get to indy (mid feb- atm in Lisbon portugal) We can meet up some time and i can five him a call and see what he has and how much. then we can road trip it .. the backspacing we need is 4inch or less, from what i can tell most fox bodies are 4.5 or more and u need spacers with fox body wheels on a II.

Shoot me an email on gmail at 74stang@gmail.com im also on myspace at www.myspace.com/74stang

I have 15x7 with 205/60/15's in the front and 15x8 250/50/15's in the rear and I still have almost 4 inches of back space available. I have spacer on the front because I upgraded to aerospace 4 piston caliper and rotors.
