Rear wheel offset

I'm looking to get some wheels for the 83 I just bought. What offset do I need to run to use a ten inch rim on the rear? (I have a 88 Turbo Coupe rear end swap in it).

6.5 inch offset for 10" wheels if it has an 8.8 mustang rear end. Yours is an inch wider either side, so try a 7.5" bs.

I have an 88 Turbo Coupe rear in it. They only make the rims I have in 5.5 and 6.5. I may just go with a 15x8 with 4.5.

What is the stock mustang 10 hole offset?

I am running 275/60r15's on some 10 holes, and they work perfectly fine. The rims are a bit narrow for the 10.8" wide tires, but the offset is perfect.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
