Wheel Offset

[Wheel Offset]

If they are the Bullitts off the newer stangs, the 18X9 will be a bit too wide for up front, I was running that and had to drop to an 8in wide rim 17X8 and still run a 1" spacer for it to work properly as well. not sure on the rear, as I am running an 18X10 on the rear

 

Good luck

[Hello - newbie here - just bought a 69 fastback - plan to restomod!!!]

Good luck!

Thanks guys.

 

70mustang, I hope you can make it next year. I hope to have mine there again, and hopefully with AC this time. Man it does get hot there in the summer :) , but I like being one of the few older ones.

[What tire size in a 69 mustang with 17x9 bullit rims]

I am running a 17X8 on the front of my 69 with a 1 inch spacer and the 245/45 with no issues. Rear is fine with that size or larger on that rim. Running the 18X10 with a 305 on the rear of mine, but did roll fenders and inner as well to make some extra room

[460 in a coupe]

YES. Look forward to seeing some PICS

[69 MACH 1 project]

First off, jsut wanted to say thanks to everyone on the site. Without knowing me, I have gotten alot of great info from the site to assist me with working on my S code 69. I have had the car for about 4 years now and spent some time re-working it for the road. I was messing around with making my first video of the project and just thought i would just share it here.

[backspace on a 17 x 9.5 wheel?]

I am running the 18X10 Bullit wheels that have a 6.3" back spacing. They are VERY close to the leaf spring and I had to massage the front inner fender for it to fit properly, but other than that and rolling the fender lip, no other mods. Running a 305/35/18 Nitto.

[Which cars got tachs]

My S code Auto Mach has a tach.

Nice looking car. GLWS.

[Decision on paint scheme]

You are right. I have seen a lot of variations of the color as well, and even the first coat that got put on my car looked like crap. We changed brnad to PPG and got a new mix and it turned out great. IF you decide to go that route, let me know I will get the paint codes and mix combo for you. Good luck

[Decision on paint scheme]

I considered similar things as well. Went with the stock Acapulco Blue, Blacked out Hood, cowl, and tail panel and had the stripes painted on instead of the decal.

 

 

[What radio should I put in my 69?]

Take a look at Custom Autosound. They have some that will fit stock location and mounting with all digital tuning and controls and it sounds great. They even make a iPod Connector as well. I put this in my car just recently and really like the set up.

[Which exhaust do u recommend for a 302?]

For a mild 302 2.5 in tubing should be fine. The sound is usually a preference deal, but I personally like the magna flow set up. Nice sound and not overly loud for riding around as well. My brother put them on his 68 with a fairly stick 302 and it sounds really good. Good luck with the project

[Need Help with rims]

I posted a bit more info on this thread. Thought I would share

Hope that helps some. I found that the 18X9 was a bit too big for the front. I chose the same style for the rear and did a 17X8 and fit MUCH better with no rubbing even with lowering the car

[69 coupe update]

Looks good. Great color. I am ready for Spring as well....

[2004 Up 17 inch "Bullit" wheels]

what rear spring and front susp mods did you do to fit those monster wheels,the stance is perfect,and what backspacing are they.thansk javed

 

Thanks for the compliments.

 

Pretty basic actually. It is a mid eye spring with 2 in lowering blocks. When I first put the mid eye on, it rasied the car slightly, with the old spring sagging so bad. I am running a 305x35x18 DR, and there is about 1/2in clearence to the leaf spring. I did have to massage the inner fender well, in front of the axle a bit in order to not get any rubbing, but no cutting required. While the car is in the body shop as well, I am having the fender lips rolled just to have a bit more clearence as well. It is a standard wheel backspacing on a deep dish rear wheel, for 94-04, which I believe is 6.38 on this particular wheel.

 

The front is using 620lb 1.5 in drop coils, but with the big block, it dropped a little more and honestly I am not 100% sure they were 620lbers. These as well are 17x8's for 94-04 with I think a 5.72 backspacing, but I am using a 1 in spacer for the front. Hope that helps.

 

Thanks

Scott

[2004 Up 17 inch "Bullit" wheels]

I am running 18X10 out back with no spacer (had to massage the inner fender slightly) and 17X8 up front with a 1 in spacer. These are wheels that fit 94-04 mustangs.

 

[Anyone running 18" Bullitts?]

Yes. I had the 18X9 but it was too wide when I lowered the car so I went down to the 17X8 up front, and now there is plenty of room from the control arm. I did the suspension kit from Laurel mountain with 1 in drop coil, which I think it dropped a little more with the big block. Mid eye rear springs with 2 in lowering blocks. I am running 245/45 up from and 305/35 out back.

[Anyone running 18" Bullitts?]

I am running 18X10 out back and 17X8 up front. the 18X9 was a bit too big up front so I went down in size. They are for the 94-04 years and I am running a 1 in spacer on the front.

[69 Mach 1 pictures before and after 1" lowering]

Yeah I'm having the same problem, I'm not sure if the mid-eye springs will actually raise my car because the leafs on it are so sagged.

 

That was what happened with mine. With mid eye rears, it actaully raised the rear by about a 1/2 inch. It wasnt much, but the old ones were sagging pretty bad.
