The factory 96-98 Saleen wheels are 18x8.5 with different offsets for the front and rear. They also had an option for 18x10 rears.

thanks yes they say 18x8.5 inside the rim, what about the offset will that allow more room for tire how does that help, I was wanting to stay with 245/40 18 up front but want to go wider in rear and keep the tires looking the same profile, anyone know what to go with??

Saleen made the 8.5 in 2 different offsets, front and rear. not sure on the measurements though , make sure you measure all 4 wheels, if they are all the same (front most likely, you can add a wheel spacer to make sure the rear wheels would look right and not sunken in)
