Muscling Up Your Rolling Stock? Measure Twice; Spend OnceFew modifications can have as profound an impact on a classic Mustang or Ford as the right set of rims and tires-a declaration that holds true for both looks and performance. In fact, we can think of no other single investment so effective at personalizing a ride. Back in the 1960s, names like Cragar, Ansen, E-T, and American Racing were common buzzwords when talking about "mags" for one's muscular Ford. Like most other aspects of life, things were simpler then-rim diameters beyond 15 inches were practically unheard of, hardly anybody upsized their brakes, and wheel manufacturers could be counted without even taking your socks off. The right rolling stock can make or break a project, but if going large, be prepared to check and re-check tire/wheel clearance measurements before ordering up those expensive alloys and rubber molecules. The fully packed wheelwells on Classic Design Concepts' Bullitt-themed, Dynacorn-based Flashback beautifully demonstrate the results of doing it right.
