Yup the 18X10's will fit with nothing more than flipping the quad shocks. My buddy has em on his 88 coupe & I think he is running a 275/35/18 ???

Wheel Replicas makes the FR500's & he is running coilovers in front with lakewoods & cut stock rear springs with lakewoods & flipped quad shocks out back....

I'm running 18x9's in the front with a 255 tire, nothing more then steeda lowering springs. The rear is 18x10 Deep Dish with a 285 tire. All i did was remove quad shocks, and roll the rear fender lip a bit. I have upper and lower control arms though. They work fine. They I got them for a great price at American Muscle. Free shipping!

You'll need '94 & up front 5 lug conversion to run the FR's and alot of the other factory wheels

so does that mean the LRS kit wont work?

With Most Coil over kits on the front you can not run over a 7" wide wheel.

Looks to me like a T-bird for some reason. It must be the combination of the hood and the cut out grille?
