Ridetech suspension installed on my 68 Mustang coupe (pics)

[Jays68]

Just got the ridetech level 2 coil over suspension installed 68 coupe. Also got the Steeroids rack installed too. I love the stance. I still got a lot of work to do yet (i.e. wheels, tires, brakes, paint and body and interior). Can't wait to drive this. I'm hoping to have it done by the summer....hopefully

I also got an Ididit column installed along with Right Stuff rear brake conversion and SSBC front kit. The rear is a 66 mustang rear so its slightly narrower in my 68. I'm planning on 18x10 wheels out back and 18x8 up front. What BS would I need?

Nice ride- definitely needs some wheels now!

Can't help much on the BS but are you minitubbing it? Which wheels do you have in mind?

Thanks. Don't plan on mini tubbing. The rear was actually in there when I bought the car. Only realized it was a 64-66 mustang rear when the 4 link was being installed. Don't really have any brand of wheels in mind yet but I do want 18" wheels for sure.

We had a customer that bought 10" rear wheels and 295 tires for his 68.. Ended up having to minitub it.
Others may have some more insight...

What's your wheel budget? American Racing is pretty budget friendly but options are limited.
Otherwise Forgeline and others are more premium.

That big a wheel on a 66 and you're minitubbing. Check out my thread. I am running 295 on the rear and barely made it fit with the tubs.

[Jays68]

I don't have a huge enough budget for Forgeline wheels but I seriously wish I did lol. I can settle for 18x9 wheels if I have to. BS is going to be a major factor on the rear of my car. I was hoping I could find someone on here who has a 65-66 rear on a 67 or 68 mustang so I could find out what size wheel and bs they have. Trying not to mini-tub it cause I'm already over budget but its always an option I guess

I remember seeing this car in the shop. Can't wait to see it when it's all done.

Do you think he could get by with a 17X8, with like a 275 40 17 without mini tubbing? really would'nt be looseing that much.

[octane speed shop]

just realized a 275 40 wont fit on a 8" rim. maybe use a 9" rim.

I really like the work RK has don e to my car. I was there Friday afternoon. Good group of guys

[Schwartz Performance]

Yeah you'll fit a 9" wheel with a 275, but any wider at that ride height and you'll be cutting metal!

I was sorta thinking 9" wheels would be the limit. The 64-66 rear gives me about an inch of more room on each side. I was told on another forum I could probably get away with about 3.5" of BS and possibly a 9.5" wheel but that might be pushing it with the ride height I want.

Since your car is already at the shop how about these http://www.cjponyparts.com/us-mags-s...1973/p/W838-V/
With a set of 1" spacers. http://www.cjponyparts.com/mustang-parts/p/WHSP15/

I was considering a wheel like this but I like the pro touring look a lot better. Although these kind of wheels do look sweet on a classic mustang
