Default Will 14" x 7" Wheels fit 1965 Mustang Fastback?

G'day all, just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this for me please...
I'm looking at buying a set of Scott Drake repro Styled Steel wheels to fit to my '65 Fastback.

They're currently on the seller's 1968 Coupe, so I imagine that they'll be fine for mine, but though I'd run it by the brains-trust here to see if I'm correct...?

The backspacing or offset is 4.5" I believe.

Thanks for any responses, cheers,

Cam.

Yes they'll fit. I had a set on my 65 2+2 (just took 'em off to put on 16 X 8's).

No problem - I have 17X7 front and 17X8 rear and they fit perfectly. You'll want to keep the overall tire height around 25-25.5 inches for good clearance.
