    Junk Yard Wheel/Tire Combo Question

    I am a day away (and one trip to Lowe’s) from having my front + rear suspension & brakes done (MKV + wilwood big brakes) and I am still shopping for my “forever wheels / tires” ….I will be going with FFR 18” recommended specs there. My question is, if I were to go to the local junkyard to look for some beater wheels/tires to get me through the build phase what should my search criteria be? My assumption is at least 17”, recent year Ford 5 bolt pattern….but after that I am at the limits of my current knowledge. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Any 17" wheel that fits a 1994-2004 Mustang will work.

    As said, 1994 -2004 Mustang wheels will work. Facebook market place and Craigslist have always worked for me. You just need tires that will hold air.

    Thank you both. Steve, just as a geographical FYI (if there is such a thing) as a kid I grew up in Crowley …. which I believe is not all that far away from where you are.
