Looking for 4 Lug 15 Inch Steelies for my Bird

Anyone know where to find any 15" steelies for my bird... I want to throw on the Turbo Coupe brakes and Low profile White Wall Tires! If anyone can locate low profile white wall tires (15inch) I'd like to throw wide tires on the back if i can find them

I think you'll need 16 inch to clear the TC brakes. They came with 16inch alum wheels.

Yeah some Mustang GT's had the 15" turbines with the same turbo-coupe 11" setup up front

Some of the first year or so turbines will NOT clear, but if they (and 10 holes, for that matter) have an E7 part number, they'll clear the bigger brake setup :)
