I am new to the site so forgive me if I am not posting to the right location. I rescued this 67 A/C Cougar from a guy I met at a gas station taking it to a scrap yard. I have this week started my restoration and am wanting to know if I can put 15×8 wheels on without rubbing the wheel wells. It is a complete car minus the factory 289. My plans are to start a 351 build next week for a few extra hoarses. And then ALOT of body work. Also the glass has a green tint to it. Can someone explain why?
Yes, that wheel size will work just fine just do the correct backspacing I believe 4 1/2 to 4 will work just fine. Check the stamping on your glass and see if it says “tinted” that means it was tinted from the factory. It could be a previous owner added window tinting to make it that color.
Thank you. Yes it does. So why would they put a green glass in a car.
If the car has air conditioning it will have tinted glass.
I think it will be marked “Sun X” That is what Ford called it’s tinted glass.
Correct, SUN-X is tinted glass. If it is clear glass it will be marked TEMPERED. None are marked TINTED.

Welcome to the madness. Please share the other information on your left door data code plate, as I notice your Cougar is not yet on the national database. Also, a picture or two of your car would be good to see. Thanks. Jim
Oops, yes “sun x” should have went to bed vs answering the post
