i have 1999 SVT wheels on my '86 hatch. i have 2000 GT brakes and spindles up front while i have an 8.8 from the same 2000 GT out back. i have 255 comp t/a's up front and 275 nitto dr's out back. the 2000 8.8 is wider so it pushes the tires out almost to the edge of the fender, filling it up nicely. sorry i couldn't be more help. hope someone on here can assist you.
