I went with moser 31 spline axles at the stock fox length but ready for the 94 to 95 rotors. I then bought the North Race Cars Brackets as mentioned above to get the calipers in line with the shorter axles. I know you can mod the oe bracket, But I don't like cutting stuff when it comes to the brakes.<br /><br />A for the front spindles you also want 94 to 95s since the 96s do push the tires outbound about .6" which can cause rubbing up front depending on your offset.<br /><br />Here are the tires and wheels I fit on my car after rolling the fender lip on all 4 corners, installing three rack limiters and "massaging" the inner wheel wells in the rear. It all clears now with no rub.<br /><br />255/40/R17s up front with 17x9" rims and 5.9" backspace. Could have ran a little more.<br /><br />285/35/R8s in back with 18x9.5" rims and 6.4" backspace.<br /><br />Here is a pic of how she sits with this combo on Eibach sportlines. If he does it, it will be worth it. I don't know if 10.5" rims are gonna fit well if he wants to tuck it like me.<br /><br /> <img src="http://www.jaybquick.com/Pictures/91Mustang/91_LawnCorner.jpg" alt=" - " /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>poisonpony96</b> <br /><small>Member # 3942</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(2006,9,9,20,13,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> thanks for the info, your car looks sweet with that setup! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>jaybquick</b> <br /><small>Member # 4286</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(2006,9,9,20,41,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by poisonpony96:<br /><strong> thanks for the info, your car looks sweet with that setup! </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">No problem.
