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 ???

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

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?
