Looking for wheels to fit 87-93 saleen?

I just sold a set of Saleen foxbody wheels for a buddy on Ebay last week. I had them advertised on here also too bad.

The rears were 8" with more of a offset inwards. The fronts were 7" with more of a lip sticking out. If you put them on backwards they rub on the rear. I'm not sure of the offsets.

If it was me I would buy one of the brackets for 94-up calipers on the rear. That way you can use stock length 5 lug rear axels. Then you have more rims to choose from ,you dont have to get a weird offset with the rears.

Ford sells a Cobra R wheel in 17" for the rear that would probably fit. It's for people who have the longer axels in the back.

i believe that Saleen used lincoln mark vii calipers in those years. i have a pair of the 94 and up bracket from a gt if you would like to see if it will work. where are you from? i live in graham and work in tacoma. i have done a 5 lug conversion on my 88 lx with disc brakes in the back and bullit brakes on the front. i might be able to lend a hand.

I forgot to mention that the 94 up bracket is not a stock one. They don't work. There is a company called North Racecars makes bracket's that will work with 94 up calipers.

north race cars bracket will let you use fox length axles with disc brakes and 94 and up calipers. i have sn95 length axles and 97 cobra wheels (17x8) and have no interference problems with 245/40zr17 tires. if you want sn 95 length axles you can use the stock 94 and up brackets.

Yes your right! it's been awhile since I have messed around with the foxbody rear brakes. A 8in rim with a 245 tire will fit fine with SN95 axels.

I forgot to mention that I was thinking to run a 9in rear rim not a 8in. The 17x8 Cobra wheels I thought were in 98?, but anyway If you want to run a 9in rim it will be hard with SN95 axels unless you get the Cobra R rim that has the different offset for the rear. I also wanted to run a 275 tire not a 245.
So I was just thinking about how I wanted a 9in rim and a 275 tire and I didn't want the front rims to have less of a lip than the rear. So if I was going to do it now I would use stock length axels and the North racecar bracket and SN95 calipers. Then have a wide selection of rim choices. Like 18in
