I'm upgrading to 13in disc brakes and would therefore need 17in wheels to clear the brakes.
Not realy a fan of 17in wheels but the torque trust seem to be the most periode correct when it comes to looks.
Anyone who use them who could recomend which width that would fit best? 17x7 or 17x8?
Will use 73 spindles up front and bbp axles from doctor diff.
 
I think the mustang bullit wheels look similar and are cheap in yard

Forgot to mention, living in Europe, so not many mustangs i the yards around here. The mustang bullit wheels would have been good if I could get them. However with the shipping from USA there won't be much savings by buying a set of used wheels compared to new ones. Use of wheel spacers should be avoided too, as it isn't allowed around here.

I have a ‘73 Swinger with Torque Thrust Originals (TTO). 7” in front with 4” backspacing and 8” in rear with 4.5” backspacing.

I never thought Mustang Bullitt wheels looked good on a Mopar. They are obviously a Ford design, not really all that close in looks to an American Racing Torq-Thrust wheel anyways.

The fronts could stand to have a little more backspace but options were limited on this specific wheel. 4.25” would have been awesome. You can’t go wrong with any of the Torque Thrust options in my opinion.
