Topic: 67 390 rim width?

[bazza]

I know I've seen this somewhere before, did a scode mustang get a different size plain steel wheel compared to a c code??

Thank you. I stumbled across a set of rims dated close to what I need.
Trying to recall, but maybe it was the Gt package that got 1/2" wider rim??

Possibly difference model of Ford that year

IIRC, the s-code cars got the 14x6 in 67.

Looked it up in the 67 MPC just to confirm   and I found that  Ford specified application not by engine size but by tire option ordered

C7ZZ-1007-C (14 x 6 steel wheel) was available with any V8 that was ordered with the wide oval that year.

Thanks Jeff. I guess more GT cars ordered wide oval than plain jane cars.
It is strange that the styled steel wheel was a downgrade in regard to width at 5 1/2"

Not really "down graded" just to up graded like the wide oval tire rims since they were new to the line up for 67

Jeff on the wide oval subject.. what was the white sidewall option for 67 ?

The wide oval ($60 or so option) was a white wall tire that year and the standard tire had a white wall option (about a $30 option) also I believe. Maybe someone with an original order form (may depend on what it says what month it was printed) will correct if I got it wrong.
