if its the sn95 setup.. and your using 96 and up spindles with bigger brakes.. then you should be able to get them to fit.. but of course leave room for the idea of rolling the fender lip and such to make it fit

You'll need SN95 front spindles...specifically 94-95 spindles.

Out back with 18x9's you want fox lenght...so either 5-lug drum or SN95 disk using ranger axles and the north race car brackets.

Exactly ..... If you run the sn95 axles in the rear then the wheel will NOT fit. You need to keep the stock rear track width. As for the front you NEED the 94-95 spindle not the 96+ as it will push the wheel out too far.

The replicas are all 24mm offset. It will work fine as long as you follow the above advice and use reasonable size tires.

They will fit. You just won't be able to put on the center cap.

We tried it on my friends car with real Saleen wheels and heres what they looked like. 18 X 9's in the front and 18 X 10.5's in the rear.

No, he's running the 5-lug SVO rotors. That's why the center cap doesn't fit. With SN95 spindles, you will have no probs at all.

I agree with you about the center caps. Running those wheels without the caps looks like crap.
