    Wheels for the coupe

    My roadster has sold, (just a little sad) so now starts the build plan for a Type 65 coupe. My question is about wheels. I would like to start shopping around but I am unsure of the sizing and back spacing. I would like to run 275's up front and 315's out back. I want to run 17's to allow for bigger brakes


    Mustang bolt pattern
    17 x 9 up front (? backspacing)
    17 x 10.5 rear (? backspacing)
    anything else to consider? Thanks for the feedback and enjoy!

    Hello Sorry to hear that you sold the roadster, but you'll love the 65 coupe! She's a head turner, for sure!

    With the 17" wheels you can run up to:
    275/40R17 on the front
    335/35R17 on the rear

    The front backspacing is 6.00" with a 24mm offset
    The rear backspacing is 6.70" with a 27 mm offset.

    Let me know if you need anything else
