1968 GT wheels
« on: December 06, 2020, 12:58:29 PM »
Simple question , hoping it's a simple answer. I know that there were "disc brake" wheels for the 65-66 models that would clear the front calipers, but for 1968, I assume the GT Rally wheels would work with both disc or drum up front?

Yes all 68 wheels provide clearance for the power disc brake calipers. BTW 67 wheels will not fit on a 68 with disc brakes, the 68 Bendix two puck caliper is larger than the 67 Kelsey Hays four puck caliper. This is also part of the reason the 68 Shelby's did not come with the Shelby ten spoke wheels.

For those reading FYI Ten spoke wheels were 67 Shelby production items that carried a S7MS (1967) engineering and part number .
