Do you have pics of the car? What style are you looking for?

By Fastback, I'm assuming Mustang. I like this US Mags Rambler for that car, it has a Shelby feel with modern look.

Take a look at the Detoit Speed 66.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
Chris- yes its a 67 Mustang fastback and the US mags does look nice.
Scott- that detroit speed mustang does look good to.
I have wheels that look just like the wheels on the Obsidian SG-1 that Autoworks built but when I bought them I purchased the 20" package not knowing that I wouldnt be able to get the same wheel in a smaller size at a later point. So, I'm selling my set to get new wheels.
Here is a pic of the 20x10 rear wheel.

Heres a Rushforth rated X we used as a mock up on a 67 we are building for a customer right now. I think we will go with a darker center. But it gives a good idea of the style of wheel. Also the Bonspeed Big Block wheel I think would look good also. Check our web site for some more wheel choices. Give me a call if you have any questions. Also I don't think you can fit a 10 wide under the car with stock wheel housings. The mock up wheel is a 20x8.5 and it was about all you can get under the car without modification664556645666457

I've got a 68 mustang, and may end up using these forgelines.

The Formula 43 split spokes on the DSE car look great! Jongbloed wheels are pretty nice as well. http://jongbloedracing.com/wordpress/ Please anything but TT2s!

That's a pretty good looking wheel, That's a look that I think I could definitely live with (lol). I mini tubbed the car so a 10" will be no problem!!

That forgeline will be a good look to. I guess its time for me to sell my wheels!!!

IMO, 18/20 is just too much stagger on a door car....then you have to stagger the tires at least 2" to keep from having the rear sidewall shorter than the front. a 19/20 or 18/19 combo would look much better.

Tom- Thanks for the input. I thought about a 19/20 before, but its hard to picture what it would look like with out seeing that set-up on a car. I'm still looking, so I guess I have a lil time until I purchase the rest of the suspension stuff...

I tried the 18/20 look. Even on a looooooing car like a galaxie, it's just too much of a difference. I wouldn't go more than 18/19. Why so hung up on 20s?

it's not a mustang but, my car when it had the 19/20 combo on it. 1" of rim stagger coupled with 1.25" tire stagger.

Dave- I just have always been a fan of that combo on a mustang. I have also had other cars with staggered wheels with the front being 1-2" smaller in size. Its more of a look that I'm after versus usability. I have a set of wheels (if needed) for the track once the car is done. This 18/20 combo is for crusing to the shows!!

Tom- I like the look of your camaro, dont get me wrong I love ALL muscle cars, hot rods, etc... I just have always gravitated to the Mustang.
Thanks for the pic:cheers:
