Went out and snapped a few pics today during a cruise around SF. The sun never came out, but it at least it remained dry
And in case anyone wants to see how far 94-98 axles push the wheels out on a fox, here is a pic that shows it. Thats about as far as I could push the wheels out with no rubbing. If the wheels were pushed out another 1-2mm, it would make contact with the fender lip and they would need to be rolled:

my turbocoupe rearend sticks the wheels out more, I had to roll my fenders with 245's, rubbed like crazy on big bumps or off center driveways.

1Sicgt, your right about that! 94-98 axles and 17x8 5.72BS Ford rims are a match made in heaven on a foxbody! These axles do create major problems when trying to run 17x9's however, which I have wanted to do but don't want to go thru the hassle of getting stock length axles and aftermarket caliper brackets.
Venomous99, Derek was actually my inpiration for that location. He actually directed me to that spot about 5 years ago back when I had my 87GT

Nice Coupe! I am surprised the sun didn't come out at all down there. It was a really nice day up here.
