i am trying to fit 18x8 in the front and 18x9 in the rear with 245 and 275 respectively. anybody know the correct back spacing i need so the front has little or no rubbing and the back stays inside the wheel well.

What are you putting these wheels on?

This is mine, running 18x8 (245/35/18, 20mm offset) on the front, 18x9 (265/35/18, 30mm offset) on the back,
don't remember the back spacing off hand, will look around see if I wrote down the specs someplace

I just mounted the Ford Racing FR500 wheels which are an 18x9 with 245/40/18's in front and 275/35/18's in the rear. These have a 5.98 in. backspacing and they fit great. Hope this helps. These are on my '92 GT.

Lets see some pictures mustang92man, I really like the FR500, haven't seen to many fox bodies with those. Any rubbing issue's? I've looked at mine and thought I could have gone with a 265/40/18 on the rear, maybe later this summer. The other wheel I'm really starting to like is the new wheel from Maximum Motorsport.

All I have are close ups showing off the new Baer brakes and wheel and tires. The car isn't running yet too have pulled it out to take full pics yet. Will be taking some on Friday as it is finally getting towed to the shop to get the final issues tied up and to get the F.A.S.T. tuned. Should be on the strret soon. I will post some pics as soon as I can.

Cool, sounds good, I also just finished installing my Baer brake kit about a month ago, never in my life did I think 13 inch rotors would look small,


Dart block is next winter's project, along with the twin turbo kit (sitting in my closet, excersising extreme patience right now), what are you doing for trans?
