do 18x9.5 wheels fit up front on an sn95? my buddy is eyeing the 2000 cobra r's for his 95'. stock brakes, stock suspension, but maybe some lowering springs later on. so ya, does it fit? any rubbing? and what tire size to run it up front?

I've installed Roush 18x9's on my old 94 GT before and they rubbed pretty bad, my car was lowered though(-1.5")...I didn't even drive it, it was rubbing that bad...
Depending of the offset a 9.5" wheel will stick out pretty far on the front if you ask me...What tire are you gonna run?....To make the best of that wheel you'd need at least 275....17x9's are perfect up front, IMO
Good luck

Are you sure they arent 18x9's? I use to run those on my 98 with no problems.

I have the 18x9.5... 2000's R's on a Sumitomo 285X35x18... with Eibach Sportlines... I have no issues... Maybe you could try a 265X35X18 Tire... That might be better for you.
