wheels from other cars that will fit our T-birds?

[cruciform]

I'm looking for a decent set of cheap 15's for my 60, and was wondering what other cars share the bolt pattern, and offset to fit the squarebird?

Us 'poor' buggers with disc-brake cars have a problem getting custom wheels to fit though - the calipers seem to be in the way.

Wider Ford 14's will work. You may have to run a thin spacer.
I'm going to post a few pics of my latest caper.

Your also not allowed to run spacers in your woods either, right?

From my experience you may be right - however I believe you may be able to get some spacers certified to use nowadays.

Generally our regulations on vehicle modifications are tough (but normally fair) - luckily not as tough as in other countries like Australia.

If you do run spacers then make certain your studs are long enough to secure the wheel properly. You can also run 41/2 X 41/2 wheel adaptors but to be safe you want the billet units from Trans Dapt. You will also want to make cetain the center hole of the wheel will fit your hub.

Or the ones I am running shown in this thread.

Those are billet and are the good ones. Just be sure to check the torques occasionally so they don't come loose and you should be good.
