18's. SN-95 or Stock Length axles? What Offset? HELP

[MustangOwner]

Hey everybody. Who all is running 18's on there fox mustang? Are you using sn-95 axles which are 0.75 longer then stock, or are you using stock length axles? Also what offset are you running? 24mm or 36mm or 45mm or something else? Everybodys help would be just awesome. Also post up some pics. Def of the 99-04 saleen style rim! And tell me about any rubbing issues! THanks

Don't use sn95 axles. You can always add spacers to push the wheels out if necessary, but once you use sn95 axles you have the space whether you like it or not.

You are gonna want stock lenght for 18x9 or 18x10 wheels

I wonder how the S197 Wheels would work out back with SN95 Axles as I think they have some different offsets?

18x10's don't really serve too much of a purpose, because you can get a 285 tire on a 9, possibly even a 295 or 305.
I use a 275/35/18 bfg drag radial, and they run very wide for their rated size, measured width of the tire with the car on the ground is a hair shy of 11 inches, and that's on an 8.5 rim.
You can always compensate for too big of a tire by getting smaller tires, but if you get a set of rims you like and they don't work, you need a new set.

Basically what i'm saying is that you can't do anything with a 10 inch rim that you can't do with less risk on a 9.

Thanks for the Link, if I could find matching Bullitts for the rear in a 17x9 with S197 Backspacing that would be sweet.
