Brian, when I first saw your post, I thought of my friend's 'Beast' a 65 Mustang fastback, supercharged 347, 5-speed, 4-wheel Wilwood's disc, etc. While the car was in Cal. having final touches done, it had 17" wheels, which wasn't what Terry wanted, 16" looked far better, for the wide & taller tires that it was going to wear, more of a vintage look. 16"X8" would fit with the right offsets. He went to 'Vintage Wheel' told them the correct offsets and 3-weeks later they were on the car, now the bad part, they came out to $500 each (2017 prices). But they can make them. And these are American Racing Torque Thrust D's, not the Series II, with the pointed spokes. Hope this helps. Cheers Tom.
