1970 Ford Mustang Fastback Widebody Black & Orange Wheels: RV-T081
Setup Overview
This custom project from RVRN Wheels focuses on a fully restomodded 1970 Ford Mustang Fastback Widebody, a platform that demands both visual authority and precise engineering. For this build, the client selected the RV-T081, a fully custom 2-piece forged wheel, sized at 18x11 up front and 19x12.5 in the rear. The goal was clear from the outset: achieve an aggressive deep dish profile with extreme offset while maintaining perfect fitment under widened fenders. Every specification, from width to offset, was engineered specifically for this individual widebody Mustang.
Design Considerations
Widebody classic Mustangs present unique challenges compared to modern platforms. The suspension geometry, body lines, and wheel arch depth all require careful calculation. The RV-T081 design allows for full control over lip depth and concavity, making it ideal for deep dish wheels for classic Mustang builds. This setup prioritizes a flush, edge-to-fender stance while preserving drivability. The 18x11 and 19x12.5 configuration maximizes rear traction and visual balance, a common requirement in high-power restomod applications.
Finish & Visual Balance
To complement the vehicle’s bold exterior, the wheels feature gloss black spokes and barrels, contrasted by a customized orange lip. This color combination directly ties into the Mustang’s black and orange widebody theme, creating a cohesive visual flow from body to wheel. The deep dish construction enhances shadow depth and dimensionality, ensuring the wheels remain a focal point even from a distance. This project exemplifies how color-matched accents can elevate a custom forged wheel design without overwhelming the vehicle’s classic character.
Applicability
The RV-T081 is a strong choice for builders seeking restomod Mustang wheels, especially for widebody conversions requiring extreme offset Mustang wheels. Its modular 2-piece forged construction allows owners to design their own wheels, selecting sizes, finishes, and fitment tailored to their exact build. While this setup was developed for a 1970 Mustang Fastback, the same principles apply across classic and modern widebody muscle cars. For enthusiasts targeting deep dish aesthetics with uncompromised engineering, RVRN Wheels delivers a fully bespoke solution built around the vehicle—not the catalog.
