It all depends on the type of rims you have...

18in rims with low rubber on a '67 classic!@!@!@!@! No offence Pain, but no...
luisloja, the '67 6 Cly and 289 came with 14x5 rims the '67 390 and GT came with 14x6 rims the Shelby came with 15x6 or optional 15x7 rims So, tires... I am going to asume this isn't a Shelby or the 390 or you wouldn't be asking this question here ![]() If you have the 14x5s The standard tire size was 695-14s and the optional was 735-14s The conversion in today's tires would be (for the 75 Series) P185/75R14 or P195/75R14 and (for the 70 Series) P195/70R14 or P205/70R14 If you have a GT with the 14x6s The standard tire size was F70-14 The conversion in today's tires would be (for the 75 Series) P205/75R14 and (for the 70 Series) P215/70R14 Tires were almost always BFGs |

As for "Eleanor" or the 7 Eleanors used to film the various seens in Gone In 60 Seconds, all spotted nice 17in rims, not 18s. Although, I will admit, larger rims and low pro tires on a $130,000 Shelby Cobra (or a 90k replica) does look nice. |

Something to be wary of on your rims, most modern rims will not fit the older mustangs. if you try for 16's you have to have them specially made. I ran into this problem recently, I am rebuilding a 66 mustang,doing a 6 cylinder conversion right now (straight 6 200 -> V-8 289) and I had to replace the rear end (4 lug bad 5 lug good on a V-8) All of the tire places in the area have told me I need to order my rims from the rim companies since the standard sizes don't fit the older mustang.

everyone else is right, it all depends what rims youre running, and how much clearance you have to fit a bigger tire in there. if the car is all stock, you dont really want big tires on it, keep it around stock. we all dont know anything about your car, so its really hard to say.
