Yes these are the wheels I will be using the ones in previous pics were 09 v6 wheels that were my girlfriends brothers that he let me use to wheel the car around on I need to shorten the fronts though a 9" wheel with that offset sticks too far out the fender so either get 7" wheels or get someone to shorten them for me as in cut and reweld

How is the rear end setup? Is it Fox length or SN95?

MikeH686 · Apr 26, 2013

The rears fine they are fox length axles its the front are sticking out like 3/4 of an inch past the fender

Ahhh.... I missed that piece. Eventually, you should find something retro to go with that color.

The front cobra r wheels don't fit they are 17x9 and they stick out to far I need them brought in but I dont wanna get a whole new set of wheels if I don't need to so I'm trying to see either how to fit the 9 inch wide wheel under the fender or what not

MikeH686 · Apr 26, 2013

Now that I'm reading this people are running 17x9 wheels up front it must be an optical illusion on me here now

Jarrod@latemodel · Apr 26, 2013

I know of a few people around town running a 9" wheel on a fox up front. 17x9 up front and 17x10 in the back. 2 of our personal fox bodies are running that same set up.

I'm running a 18x9 FR500 front wheel with 94/95 front spindles, cobra brakes, and stock control arms and it fits in the wheel well up front. But I have 10 inch rears and Sn95 axles out back so they stick out some. The wheels I believe are Sn95 offset.

MikeH686 · Apr 26, 2013

Its gotta be an optical illusion then or the caster camber isn't as square as I thought it was I'm going 245 up front so maybe that will help it out some to

Or the backspacing for the wheels you have is wrong for your front-end.

MikeH686 · Apr 26, 2013

That could be too I think they came with 24 and 36 mom offset which is I believe a 5.95 and a 6.45 inch back spacing so I will probably need the 6.45 back spacing to bring the wheel back into the fender

Mike, I was thinking about getting this done with a set of wheels also. I wonder what the staying power is on a set that gets welded properly - probably good a s factory. what do you think?

I wanted to run the Saleen Replicas 18's with my SN95 upgrade, but I only find them in 9". I have the 86 in stock fender form - but I relly want to make that wheel work...

MikeH686 · Apr 29, 2013

I've definitely seen them widen the wheels my brothers supra rear wheels were done I've never seen somebody actually shorten them though

I've seen a set of 17's narrowed to run skinnys on a terminator, it was bitchen to say the least..

MikeH686 · Apr 29, 2013

My only thing is will it draw the wheel into the fender more? That's what my ultimate goal is that and run like a 235-225

RacEoHolic330 · Apr 29, 2013

Widening or narrowing wheels (on the inside) doesn't affect the mounting offset, so your fender to wheel clearance doesn't change. It's pretty popular to have Weldcraft make a set of big and littles. I saw a picture of a set of 03 Cobra wheels that they did. 5" up front and 12" in the rear. It was weird seeing skinny factory wheels.

Most wheels that Weldcraft do tend to balance better than before they were modified.

MikeH686 · Apr 29, 2013

That's pretty much what I figured the wheels now are a 5.95 bs unless its my eyes or that the camber is out of whack I really don't know it hasn't been aligned since I put the Upr Products cc plates
