On a Fox body you want a different offset front and rear. The AFS ones are "optimal" for a SN95. As you've noticed, on a Fox they will stick out in front. You'd think they'd make the 4-lug version specifically for the Fox since there are no 4-lug SN95s but it was probably cheaper to leave everything the same save the drilling for the bolt pattern.<br /><br />You can always pretend you are in a Grand Am and tell yourself that wider is better. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>87 Saleen</b> <br /><small>Member # 1549</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,0,12,13,31,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> what if you machine the rotor and the wheel a 1/4 of an inch? just a thought, sounds pretty crazy too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="tongue.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>saleenmomo89</b> <br /><small>Member # 3251</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,0,12,14,30,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> they are AFS,<br />and the offset is the same between the two, <br />how stupid of them to not make the correct offset,<br />i think the idea about 1/4 on each sounds good to.<br />screw AFS WHEELS <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
