Its been a while since Ive messed with a Fox Body so I had some questions. I bought a coupe, and was wanting to throw some 18" Saleen wheels on it. I can handle the 5 lug swap, but was more concerned with "fitment" issues. What (if any) mods would need to be made a 18x10.5 wheel fit in the rear?

Any info would be appreciated.

Any pics of Coupes with 18's would be appreciated as well.

i dont think you would need to tub out hte rear, but fender rolling would be a must.

looks to me that you could definetly drop it an inch or so without rubbing. If it does rub try rolling the fenders.
