Specifically 18x9 Fr500's or bullitts in S197 offset.

Curious to see how they fit on a Fox with Sn95 rear disks and axles

I have 17X9 05+ Bullits with the +45mm offset from www.americanmuscle.com Even though they are 05+, they still look like the old Bullit wheels. The tires are 285-40-17's.

Here is a pic...but I have the 2001 axle, disc brakes, abs etc. They just clear the quarter edge. If you use the 94-94 axle these wheels will sit inward 3/4". This will still give you clearance of wheel wells, ABS sensors, E-brake cables, but will not allow quad shocks. I don't need them anyways, I have no wheel hop with this car.

Remember...your wheels will sit in 3/4"...which will look better than my car because you will have 3/4" more under the car. These wheels are the perfect combo with a 94-98 rear...trust me.

17x9's work too...but the choices for S197 17x9 wheels is more limited in that size right now.


I wanted to do 17x9 hypercoated bullitts all the way around

I feel your pain bro! I wanted to do Chrome/ Hypercoat FR500's all the way around, but they don't offer that offset in 17's. I didn't want to get bent over on 18" tires. Watch....after this winter, they will come out with more 17X9 05+ offset wheels, and I will be mad!!

I just checked their site, and the 18X9 FR's only have a +30mm offset. They will stick out from my quarters still, but will be extremely close with a 94-98 axle.
