Sn-95 vs. Fox axles. Pic comparsion.

[MustangOwner]

Well before i tore my car all apart i was running a 18x9 with a 24mm offset and sn-95 axles. I was getting a little rubbing on the rear fender lip. Not much but enough to piss me off. My orignal plan was to buy some Moser 5 lug stock length axles and some North cobra caliper mounting brace and be done. That would suck my wheels in 3/4 of an inch and fix the problem. Well i was scared that they would give my rear end the "sucked in" look. So before i forked out over $400.00 bucks for the axles and braces i thought i'd steel my neighbors stock length axles and see what it looks like. Well i was right, it sucks my rear rims in WAY to far. It looks completely ghey. You might not be able to tell to much from the pictures but trust me in person it looks really bad. And it was raining so i couldn't get the best of all pictures. So instead of doing the axle swap i think i'm just gonna roll the rear fender lips and call it good. That should fix my problem and not cost $400 bucks. And yes i could put in the shorter fox axles and then space them out so they sit perfect but i dont want to run a spacer. And right now with the sn-95 axles the rear sits out further then the front and i like that. And i'm also getting front and rear Maximum Motorsports coil over setup so i can also adjust the ride height if it still rubs. Either way it will be fixed. So i thought before i drop the rear end i'd take some pictures of what i'm talking about. I've never seen any side by side comparsion pics before so here yah go.

The passenger side has the sn-95 axles and the drivers side has the fox axles.

Fox on the right, sn-95 on the left. The fox axles have longer studs but the height is the same so you can see the difference between the two axles as far as length goes.

Edit: The best pics are #1 and #2

Ha well that was the best performance tire for the buck i could get at the time. I think they are a great tire but now i'm going to Good Year Eagles F1 gs-d3. The kumhos are like brand new with maybe 800 miles on them ha, can we say burn out? But the eagles are $244.00 whole sale cost. And i think i paid like 112? wholesale for the kumhos ha. So thats why i bought them. But it was a waste afterall ha. Gotta love family owned dealerships ha.

I have a set of Kumho's on my 5.0. Can't wait to burn them off. I put some Bridgestone Potenza S-03's on my GT and OMG it's an incredible tire!! It's like glue in the dry or wet. Just last week i was driving on the hgihway in the pouring rain and the car felt solid and stuck to the road. Never had that feeling with the Kumhos

try cooper zeon 2xs i bought mine last year for $85 each that, is a 245-45-17. 18 im sure are a little more.. something to look into. there a sweet ass tire imo

personally i put some shorter ones back in, cuz the sn95s kinda pushed my 9inch wides out barely a little more than i wanted. an i jus used the sn95 studs cuz the reear disks

nice notch....

 

[MustangOwner]

I'm confused on why you just posted a bunch of pictures of your notch
And that article only shows the difference between the two axles sitting on the ground. I said i've never seen a comparison of fox vs sn-95 axles on a car. So i took pictures to show you, you can't get a better side by side comparison then i just gave you.

nice notch....

Thank you. I was just showing the fitment of various wheels with the sn-95 axleshafts.

Thank you for your side by side comparison, I also did a 5-lug conversion on my 1990 Fox Saleen replica. However that conversion was front disc and rear drum, using the stock axleshafts. Here's a pic of my car with Saleen wheels...

Here are those same wheels on one of my SVOs...

yeah the sn-95 axles with 24mm offset is the best look.

yeah the sn-95 axles with 24mm offset is the best look.

I didnt think 24mm offset wheels with SN95 axles on the rear was possible?
