Will these fit your standard fox body with sn95 front conversion & ranger axle/drums? I just got my tax return, and feel an impulse buy coming on

i don't think you'll have any problems up front, but you might need to remove the quads for clearance out back, or a swap to sn95 rear.

ttt for confirmation.

what you need to do is find our the offset, then you can have an idea, rim diameter doesnt matter.

You'll be fine on the front, out back, worst case scenario, you might need a 1/4 in spacer and maybe drop the quads. It really depends on the offset of course, but that's what it took for me to get 98 GT split-spokes on my car with a 275/40/17 tire

They will mount fine, you just need to worry about offsets. Might need some H&R 1" spacers out back

I realize that; I have seen these actual rims on foxes (in pics) and thought someone might be familiar with the backspace. Guess I'll see if I can find the numbers and post back.

The 18x8 front wheel has 30mm offset, and the 18x9 rear wheel has 20mm offset. Should they work? Any problems I will run into?

You should be fine. My wheels are Y2K R's (18x9.5) and they fit fine. I just had to roll the fender lips in the rear to accomodate 295s.

I have tsw revo 16 inch rims coming for my 88 mustang gt.They have a 20mm offset and are for my car.So I don't know if the offset changes for bigger diameter rims.I don't think it would.Offset is how much of the tire is in or out of the axle.Diameter should not change the offset.The 20mm inback is right and the 30mm in the front would put the front tires 10mm in more witch would make sense.The front always sticks out a little more then back.

Cool. Anyone else want to chime in before I put the money down on these rims?
