Yes, they were for the '63. The were given to me and I thought they would look ok on the Tbird but a trial fit on the front has them dragging on the upper ball joint. 17" wheels probably wouldn't but I'm not buying new wheels right now. I was just hoping they would fit with possibly spacers. I had hoped someone could tell me they had done similar wheels and what spacers they used along with any problems or issues. I don't need much, maybe 3/8 to 1/2 inch to offset the wheel outward and get it away from the upper ball joint.
