Im still about a month away from putting my new wheels on but I did do a test fit on them a week or so back and noticed that the fronts stick out past the fender almost a half inch. Im running replica 18x9 Saleens, 24 mm positive offset with a 265 35 18 tire. Now is this normal? Am I just not used to a wider setup? After all, this is my 6th Stang but my first setup with wider than stock rims and tires. If Im standing at the fenders looking directly down I can see about 3/8 to a half inch of rubber. IS this normal with this size tire? Ive seen a lot of places (american muscle for example) that recommend 265 for a front tire. Ive looked at a lot of other threads and see this is a pretty common size for a lot of you as well. So am I just not used to this or what? Ive tried looking at a lot of the posted pics but no one has any from directly in front of their cars. If only our cars had fender flares like the model years that surround the SN95s.....
Oh and IMHO, the 99-04 saleen rims look better on 94-98's then they do on the 99-04's, because they are designed for a fuller looking car, they look that much better on our more modest styling and lines. The rims just look better on a smaller car. Saleen should have probably run a 19 inch rim for the 99 ups. Don't forget to post pics.
