18's for '68 stang
Havin a problem here finding wheels with proper offset (close to 0, since using spacers is illegal in Finland) for my '68 Mustang. Preferable sizes should be 18x8 in front, 18x9 in back. 5x4.5 is the pattern...
Style I'm looking for is polished/chrome lip with darker center (not totally black though). Budget would be around $1500 for the set without tires. Have to keep the shipping costs in mind...

A 0 offset 18x9 will not fit the back of a 68 unless you have a narrowed rear end. You will also need more offset on the front too with the 18x8.
I run +24mm offset on the rear of my 18x9 and +12 in the front with 18x8.

Thanks kmcanally. This is the kind of information no wheel supplier I've contacted so far has been able to provide me!
Do the wheels fit in with those offsets without any modifications? How about availability of wheels with those offsets?

Yes with these offsets they are tucked in as far as possible to allow a low ride height. These are late model mustang wheels. The fronts started out as 18x9 with +30 offset. I had them narrowed to an 18x8 and then I had to use a 1/4" spacer to keep from rubbing the UCA's at full lock. I got my wheels here http://www.americanmuscle.com/mustangwheels.html
