Not the front. They would probably look like they do on that Mustang. Good luck turning the wheel!

Yea that’s what I figured but just wanted to double check

8.5" too wide on front for sure.

I have a 70 ply B body with factory 15x7 rallies and 255/60-15 on all 4 corners. Power steering, drives great, turns great. No rubbing ever but the car is sitting towards the high side, but not so anybody says anything, and it doesn't look high, but definitely not low.

It isn’t the width that poses the problem, it is the offset or back spacing. I have 18 X 9” wheels up front with 4 1/2” back spacing. Mine clear.



It might be safe to say that any more than 4 1/2” FRONT spacing would interfere.

Keep in mind..
Even though Ford and Mopar wheel stud spacing are the same, the center cut-out center
for Ford is smaller than Mopar. So a Mopar wheel will fit a Ford fine but not the other way around.

Just my $0.02...
