After procrastinating for several weeks, I finally got around to putting my new rims on. I decided to go with the 18x9 in the front and 18x10.5 in the back. The first thing that goes will be the center caps, they will be replaced with the OEM SVT ones. I know its not a foxbody, but its close...

Looks good, but there is hardly any meat on those back wheels.

NEEDS some taller tires or at least to be lowered. Personally I think it needs both, but great choice in wheels!

VERY nice. I agree on the rear tire comments, but other than that, PERFECT choice in wheels

With that style of tire one will always appear to be installed incorrectly.

Thanks all for the comments. The rear tires are 295/30/R18. They look small because of the size of the sidewall.

The tires are installed correctly with the "rotation arrow" pointing forward.

The car has been lowered slighty. It has the 00 Cobra R springs with Blistein shocks/struts.
The sidewall of the tire makes it look higher, but these are only temporary tires.

If you have no way to get all the tires facing the right way then whoever mounted them, mounted them incorrectly. If you mount them wrong, then will not both point the same way regardless of which rim is on what part of the car.
