Hi i might be buying some new rims for my94 sn95 5.0. And i was wondering if 18 x10x9 would fit my car. My car is lowered and im not sure how much. Im looking at the fr500 rims and the gt4 rims from american muscle. If anyone has put these rims on their car before then any info would be appreciated.

This is what i put on my car and it fits no problem

As far as the guy that's running 305's in the rear on his Mustang he must have rolled the lip on his rear fenders because theres no way those fit without rubbing.

haven't done a thing to my fenders. the MT ET streets radial IIs fit without a single thing modified. when i put the NT555Rs on there i had to remove the quad shocks. otherwise no fenderwell has been touched.

Ok so you had to remove the Quad shocks and put a different offset wheel to make the 305's fit.

yes for the quad shocks but only with the nitto NT555Rs. the mickey thompson et street radial IIs fit with the quad shock in.

as far as the offset, not sure what your getting at. its a 18x10" wheel with +22mm offset. you need at least a 10" wheel for a 305 to fit...

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

I know if you run a 15"x10" you use a 6.5" backspacing. I'd like to say that would be helpful with an 18" rim, but I know things like that can be screwy. So, just for informational sake.
