1969 Mustang with LMR Series 3 Rims in Bronze

Decided I wanted to change up my rims from the 2004 Mach 1 wheels to something a little different. As far as I know, I am the first to put this combo on a classic Mustang.



This is the kit that I purchased:
SVE Mustang Series 3 Wheel & Tire Kit - 18x9/10 - Satin Bronze (94-04) Sumitomo HTR Z5

For my suspension setup:
I am running 1" spacers on the front and rear.
The fronts have have 1" lowering springs with an extra 1/4 coil cut out:

The rears currently have the stock leaf springs and a 1" lowering kit:

And that is it. No fender rolling. And everything is fine in the front with nothing rubbing from steering wheel lock to lock.

I think it turned out awesome! I just wheeled it out of the garage, so really didnt take the time to clean up the tires yet.


Old Mach 1 rims:

Thanks! I stared at these for days debating if I wanted to take the plunge, glad I did!

Got a new set of 4.5 1" drop leaf springs and a Wilwood front disc conversion coming. I am highly considering getting a 9" for it as I hear upgrading the 8" is a waste of time. I would just have it built longer so I can remove the wheel spacer/adapters. After that, might do some coilovers in the front to bring it down just a little bit more.

Got the front Wilwood conversion in a few weeks ago. Turned out nice, but damn, they look small in these rims.

I also replace the sway bar mounts and endlinks as they were way destroyed.

Finished the install on my 70' Fastback with the Wilwoods last month! I enjoy the pedal feel and consistent braking.

Coupe looks good! Classic lines with modern influence.

Major upgrade! The stance is perfect.
