So, I currently have 17x9 Cobra Rs on the car now but I also have a set of brand new authentic 99-04 Saleens (18x9) that i wanted to try out on the car. Well the rears stick out much too far unfortunatley, mostly bc i think the guy who had the car before me did an sn95 rear axle swap so the total length is longer. Take a look at the pics and let me know what you guys think...

I agree, BUT... the rears stick out wayyyy too far. i was thinking about just buying some aftermarket wheels for the rear so they tuck in better

if you want them to sit flush with the fender, you need 05+ mustang spec rims.

i run 18x9 on the rear for an 05+ stang and they fit perfect.

with an sn95 axle? bc i know they have too much offset for a stock fox axle

I don't know, your car looks really good as it sits.

I like the look of the Saleens, but yeah they do stick out a little far don't they.

If I ever did a 5 lug swap, I was always curious what Saleens would look like and I like em!

Both look good, I prefer the 17"s but either one looks good.

Do you have any pics from the rear of the car? Just wondering what kind of stance it has from the back.

Random thought, how much do you guys think that these wheels would be worth? 4 18x9 brand new authentic saleens with brand new Pirelli PZero Nero tires?
