I figured I'd ask this in here b/c there is so much more traffic then the SVT section. I'm looking to buy Saleen 18" wheels, with a 9" width for front wheels and a 10" width for rears. I plan to put on a 315/35 tire on the back, and probably 270 up front. Now, my question, will this wheel/tire combo fit my SN95 if I have a 1 /34" drop? I figured some one in here has or knows of someone who did this same setup.

Should fit. Your fronts may rub sway bar at full lock. Rears depends on your exhaust. Most will fit. Mine with Flowmaster cat back has only about an inch between pipe and tire with 285's. If it doesnt can just do a little pipe massage work.

i'd say it depends on whether you get replicas or the real thing. The offset on the replicas make it so the rims sits out further by almost a full inch possibly allowing for more exhaust clearance, but then you could run into the problem of getting fender rub especially with the 315s

When you say it rubs, do you mean only when you go over bumps, or is it a constant rub?

Are you you're not rubbing the quad shocks, or are you positive it's the fender?
