I just bought a set of 10th Anniversary wheels 17x9 with 26mm offset. I mached up the rims and noticed fitment issues. I have SN 95 front and Ranger axles in the rear. How did you get them to fit? Also,what tire size did you use?

You shouldn't have a problem. I'm running 03 cobra rims and have zero fitment issues. 95 spindles, stock length 5-lug axles. 245/40 up front and 275/40 out back. Where is the fitment issues?

Flip your quad shocks around. They'll fit. That's what I did to mine.

I have aftermarket upper and lower control arms and ditched the quad shocks. I have some slight rubbing in the front due to the size but its to be expected. I have the same setup and you should be alright with the quads flipped.

I just put the anniversary wheels on my 93 gt yesteraday. I used the lsc rotors up front and had to put a 1/4 inch spacer to make the wheel sit flush against the rotor. In the back i used stock size five lug axles in the back. I took the quad shock off and have no rubbing problem in back. I used 245/40 up front and 275/40 inthe rear cause im going to lower the car to. The only problem i have is that the center cap wont fit on the front wheels. Any suggestions?

The only way you can get the cap to fit the LSC rotors is to drill a hole in the cap. That is the drawback to those rotors. Other syle rims may not need the hole in the cap but those will. Sorry.

I dont really want to drill a hole so i guess i'll have to figure some thing out. Do you mean drill a hole through the part of the cap under the svt emblem?

Thanks for the advice.. Will the 245 45s work? Or do I need to go to 255? I dont want to buy new tires but I will to make these wheels fit...

Those tires will work and probably fit alot better than my 275s. I bought the rims and tires off of a cobra and just made them fit up front.

I would Flip the Quads, NOT ditch them! You can get a set of rack limiter CHEAP from any Ford Dealer and that should stop the rubbing up front!

I have a similar setup and also was going to order 10th anny wheels. When you guys say there is a little rubbing where is it. Is it on the fender lip or on the inside of the wheel. I was planning on using 96+ spindles but don't wanna if they are going to rub even more. SOrry for the HIJACK -Deece
