Re: Building My Second 64 Comet

Since this is a restomod, I was able to get a staggered set of wheels to fit the mustang II front and the triangulated four link rear. 18x8 front wheel and 20x10 rear wheel. I tested the multi-spoke wheel 1st and decided to use the 5 spoke wheel on the comet and the multi-spoke wheel on my galaxie

Re: Building My Second 64 Comet

I was thinking about expanding the tubs, but I test fitted my Ranchero 9" wide spare wheel with a +12 offset and a 255 tire under the comet and it fit with 1 1/2" to spare on the outer side and 1 3/4" to the inside of the wheel well, so that's enough rim for me

Building My Second 64 Comet
