19x9.5 +36mm offset. What do you think?

9.5" wide will be tough to squeeze in the fenders. If you have/when you do a 5-lug conversion, you can't use the SN95 stuff.

Fast, Cheap or Reliable. Pick two and live with it.

Actually I would be getting 19x8.5 all around. Will SN95 fronts and 5lug fox length axles in the rear. What do you think?

You're going to have to work the front fenders a little. I've got 17x9s and they rub at lock.

36mm would fit the rears with an sn-95 conversion but 36mm would be wrong for the front.

Would it tuck in to much or would it stick out
to much in the front?

I don't know the conversion to backspacing. But get it from the guy, cuz I just put 18x9.5 rims on my 91 gt and it took 6.4" backspacing. Also you will want to ad some rack limiters in the front. And massaging of the fender lips and rear wheelwells will most likely be required.

Here is a quote from another post of mine "For the front tire rubbing buy some rack limiters from ford to limit your turning radius a little and stop the rubbing on a full lock turn. They just snap in under the passenger side steering rack boot. Just add one at a time until the rubbing goes away. The only downfall is tougher U turns, but at least you don't have to worry about tearing everything up. The ford part number is N804842-S."

Good Luck

You'd run into problems with them hitting the strut.
