I took the plunge a few months ago and ordered 15" wheels from FFR. I'm "downsizing" from the 17s I got with my kit, so I also have to swap out the front brakes. Baer sent me a template to use to check wheel fitment with their modified rotors and caliper brackets, but it looks like it's a no-go, so I'm going to go with a new set of the Mustang GT calipers, brackets, and rotors. Just a little re-work, but the end result will be worth it as I'm going for much more of a period-correct look than when I started the project.

Here's a shot of one of the new rear wheels:

what rear tire width will you get with those rims?

Most likely 245s on the 8" fronts and 295s on the 9" rears. Going to go with the Avon CR6ZZ radials with vintage tread pattern.

Thats still nice and wide at the rear! I am planning 17" with 315 but I do like higher profile rubber. Got me thinking now!
