Here they are. Finally have all 4 tires on the ground. The 275's out back fit PERFECTLY. No rolling, no BFH work. Nothing. Bolted right up. I'm thrilled with the way it came out.

I like it. Believe it or not i'm getting burned out on the staggered deep dish thing lately, it's nice to see matching front/back rims for a change.

Nice I was thinking of the same set up. How do the fronts fit? Whats spindles are you using?

Thanks for the compliments.

I'm running the 94/95 spindles. The wheels are all 18x9, fronts are 245/40/18 and fit with about an inch away from the strut. No rubbing or anything on full lock. Rears are 275/35/18 with the North Cobra brackets and stock length axles. No rubbing, rolling, or hammering required.

I feel I should shed some more light on this....These are not legit Ford Racing wheels. These are the American Muscle clones with OEM SVT center caps. The center caps are inset on the hub about 3/8's of an inch. After a closer inspection of the real thing, the caps do set in like mine...but just not quite as much. These clone wheels are 9" wide and have the common SN95 +30mm offset. The official Ford Racing GT500 wheels are 9.5" wide and have a +45mm offset. For this reason, I couldn't use the official GT500 wheels. As they would contact the struts in the front. In the rear, IF you use the SN95 track axles you can probably get away with the 9.5" width and +45mm offset of the official wheels.

I'm digging them a lot. Lowering the car a tick would make them look even better.

I'm running 2004 Mach1 springs. I had FMS C-Springs on it when I had the 16x9 4-lug pony wheels, but it sat a little too low. The Mach1 springs make it sit perfectly, IMO.
