Planning on 17x9 bullitts for my Fox. I beleive the offset is +26MM, 6.11" backspace

Now i realize these wheels are designed for SN95's, but i have the option of running the standard SN95 rear brake setup (+0.75") or buying the north cobra brackets and returning it to the stock fox offset.

I was planning on 275/40/17 tires. Which rear brake offset would work best??

EDIT: That backspacing is from AFS wheels, the 17x9's from mustangtuning.com are +24mm, 5.95". So what worls best??

Well if you plan on running the north cobra brackets and returning it to the stock fox offset then you would want to use the 24mm, 5.95".

If you go with the SN 95 stuff then use the 26MM, 6.11" backspace.

I actually like the idea of running a 26mm offset that would allow you to adjust with a spacer if needed.
