It looks like time to bite the bullet. I think my 72 GT would look better with a set of Magnum 500's. I am looking at 15x7 all around or 15x7 fronts and 15x8 on the rear. How are these setups working out and does anyone have a pic showing the look with staggerd 7" fronts with 8" rears? Thanks.............. Greg
They will work fine with no clearance issues if you get a standard 15 inch wheel. If you want to rotate your tires, i would go 15x8 all around. You can get a good tire on that size wheel if you dont want to stagger, and still CAN stagger with just tires if you choose. Ill be doing this when i do wheels, 15x8 all around that is.
magnum's on ranchero Here is a shot of my 74 ranchero with 15x8 rims all the way around. P215/70/R15 front and P255/60/R15 rear. Now here is a shot of the Ranchero "MX". This has 15X7's all the way around with P225/70/R15 in front and P255/70/R15 in the rear.
Those look really good. I was concerned about clearance issues with 8" on the front. I will have to decide if I want staggered sizes or the same all the way around..........? Thanks Greg
I got a set of 15x7's at the Portland, OR Swap Meet from Specialty Wheels, Ltd in Portland OR. They had a show special on and I got an even better deal on some seconds they were unloading cheap! www.specialtywheel.com Question for the group: Is there someone who makes the Ranchero/Torino centers that bolt through from the back? Not sure about $50 bucks for pieces that can be popped out or fly off! Peter
I bought my Magnums at the columbus swap from Kentucky mustang. It was $619 for a set of four 15x7 wheels and the four center caps with the full set of lugs. 15X8 where $649 for the same deal. (kentuky mustang 1-888-861-0176)
Best deal I can find is at Summit for 15 x 8 with center caps. I will have to check local to see what I can find for tires. Greg
Bought mine from summit as well,15x8-255-60.Plenty of room,no rubbing on frame.Going to change out to 16 or 17 inch to clear rear disc installation.Too bad your not closer beast,would make ya hella deal.
Seems like I am never in the right place at the right time I am sure I would take you up on the deal! Greg
I have gone for 15 x 8 on all four with 4.25 in backspace fitted with 255 x 60 x 15 rear and 235 x 60 x 15 front - Perfect rides nice handles well and looks good with a nice rake .......... Life is easier with the same size rims all round
