    I believe the Mustang rear will be a little too wide, but you can compensate for that with the backspacing of the wheels. I have an early Mustang 9" on mine. Sticks out just a little but it's a race only car.:)

    If you click on my images you might be able to see how much it is. Not a lot but there is room for some more backspacing.:)
