Stick with a Mustang 8.8 rear to keep it simple.

Any Fox body Mustang rear will fit your 88. Also, the 94-95 rear will fit but it is a little bit wider. So you'd have to consider that.

stangs 8.8's did not go 5 lug until 94 with the new body revamping. So any fox rear will work, I would try to stay within the yrs of 86 thru 93 to make everything easy and no modifications.
