it only took a couple weeks, wasnt as hard as i thought it would be, now i just gotta fix the trans (4th gear died on me, i got a fresh t5 waiting to go in).

size is 17x9 with 245/45's, used ranger axles/drums, 95 spindles and '04 cobra fronts with a 93 cobra mc.

now for pics:

Now you just got to lower it and it will look great! Looks real clean man, I didn't even know they made a 17" Saleen in that style.

theyre hard to find, but theyre out there. thinking about getting a pair of 18's for the rear and putting some drag tires on the 17's, but its not gonna happen anytime soon.

there is in the front if you turn it too much, guess i need rack limiters there. im very suprised the rear doesnt rub on the quad, its not flipped and theres not any finger room between it and the tire (but my fingers are fat, so)

Three things


1) why did it take so long?

2) why didn't do the rear in dics?

3) Do you have stock suspen.?

1) waiting for parts to arrive cause i started doing this not knowing i didnt have everything (and forgetting that the caliper bleeder goes up and not down)

2) i will eventually, but for now the drum setup was more affordable

3) yes, the whole suspension is stock. was thinking about some b springs, but with the front wheels as close to the outer fenders as they are i dont know how much i can actually lower it.

thanks for the positive comments guys

My front rubbed on mine as well. I simply installed some small wheel spacers and that took care of the problem. Plus it spaced out the front rims to match up more with the rear. I've heard horror stories about spacers but knock on wood, mine have been fine.

i dont think spacers will work too well in my place, the sn95 spindles already pushed the wheels out themselves, theyre farther out than the rears now and the tires are dead even with the fenders. the rears might could use a small spacer, but im hoping when these goodyears die that a 275/40 dr will make it look better.
