Going to put the mesh wheels away for safe keeping.

Can't deciede on the following: SC Style in silver or black, 10th ann. silver or black or Bullit silver or black.

Here is a decent pic of the car:

Silver 10th anniv. wheels FTW...It'd look killer with your Saleen theme IMO

Mustang5L5 · Mar 2, 2010

I vote anthracite center 10th cobras....stick with the Saleen tradition of polished lips with dark centers.

88-378 · Mar 2, 2010

I like the anthracite 10th ann wheels. I can't find a good pic of what mine would look like with them.

What's the difference in quality from the 50Resto 10th's to the OE Wheels?

I remember seeing Epic? say something about this?

wythors · Mar 3, 2010

Repop wheels are made in China. OE Ford wheels are made in USA.

I'm going to say 10th anniversary Cobra. They look really good in anthracite.

I can't speak for a quality difference as OE makes nice wheels. I can say that our wheels come from the same factory that makes American Racing Wheels.

Ive had LRS replicas on my old 87 and i had no problems witrh them.

88-378 · Mar 4, 2010

Well, it looks like i am **** out of luck! i cannot find wheels with the offsets i need. A common problem for fox saleens. which is why this is my first and last saleen ever! fox or not!!!

If anyone knows where i can find wheels with the following, let me know.

17X9(rear) +39mm offset
17X8(front) +24mm offset

Is the wheel base different on Saleen fox's?

I fit 10th anni's with SN95 spindles and stock length ranger axels on a 88gt.

foxmustangman · Mar 5, 2010

Not the wheel base, but the offset aparently is. What about some wheels that are still Saleen-esque but different, you know? like BBS-type wheels.

88-378 · Mar 5, 2010

The only difference is the rear axle is 1" longer on each side. Axles are from an SVO/Lincoln Mark VII.

The SN95 are .75" longer on each side than a regular fox.

Mustang5L5 · Mar 5, 2010

It's 1.25" each side

S197 wheels out back are one option. Run those out back with Sn95 up front. Prob is finding two matchning sets

Another more extreme option is that the Mark 7/SVO brake setup can be modified to bring the brakes in and run stock fox offset using drum-lenght 5-lug axles...doubt you want to do that though.

Clearing the front hub is also going to be an issue. You may require a small spacer and bashing the dust cap to mount the center caps.

The SVO brakes make nothing easy

That's right, 1.25". thanks for rubbing in the extra .50"! LOL

Another person told me to run s197 in back and sn95 in front. I can get those. just order two and two. Will the dust cap still be a problem?

Ultimately depends on which wheels you get...but the issue is with any of the rims using the small 2" style center caps.

So i dunno if that would be make or break for you

88-378 · Mar 5, 2010

Ugh! i am actually thinking of replacing the rear! this is crazy! Anyone make a rear that can use my SVO rear discs?
