Stock Bullits won't fit due to the longer hub on the rotor. You can't put the center cap on the wheel. OK-it does fit but looks ghetto w/out the center cap. It is the same disk brake rotor as the Lincoln Mk VII. Not sure about aftermarket wheels.

bullits do fit svo brake coversions.a friend of mine has svo conv. and has bullits but he used some wheels spacers so he could install the senter cap.funny thing on his car is that when u install spacers the wheels are or should stick out little,on his they didnt stick out.

the svo are much longer than stock so i wouldnt recommend going with 9" wide wheels(5.95" backspacing) unless you dont mind the wheels sticking out a bit.
go with a 8" wide with 245 wide tires andyou'll be fine.
if it were up to me, i would go with the sn95 route with stock length axles so you can go with any wheel u want without having issues with dust cap clearance.

Stock 94-97 Cobra wheels will bolt on and the centercaps will fit just fine. At 8" wide, they look nice and are cheap: I found a perfect set off a 97 Cobra for $200.
