      18x9 front and 18x10 deep dish bullitts

      First off, great site. A little info on me, I'm restoring a 67 Mustang fastback. I've been working on it for 4-5 years. I'm quite lazy so alot of work doesn't get done to it. Any how, to the reason I signed up here...

      Got a trade brewing on some deep dish bullitts. I'm trading a set of 95 5-spoke ponies for these. Only problem is that I'm getting three. I'll pick up another 18x9 for the front when I'm ready. Now the questions.
      1. Front 18x9 has 245/40/18... How is this gonna fit. I now have to work a ps setup in lol
      2. Rear 18x10 has 275/35/18... how is this gonna fit.
      3. I'm unsure of the backspacing or offset, but I think the 18x10's are 6.3 backspacing and +24mm offset and the 18x9 have 5.94 backspacing w/ a +24mm offset. How is the backspacing and offset gonna match up to what I need to make them fit correctly?




      Searching around here and a few other sites, it looks like there are a few guys that are running a 275/35/18 in the rear with 18x9 wheels. And some even running 10.5 wheels with 315's. I think with a spacer I'll be ok in the rear. The front is where my major concern is. On Dodgestang's wheel chart it shows a set of 18x9 on the front of a 69-70 Stang with stock suspension, so the 67-8 are the same so I should be able to run them with maybe a 1.5 spacer.... Maybe. I can't put them on to see if they fit because I have no front suspension or rear suspension for that matter lol.

      The 245 should fit fine in front. I have 245s in the front of my 65 falcon and 65 mustang. The back space has to be perfect though. You will need spacers or your suspension could have longer control arms.
