Well, on my GT have a 17 x 10 rears with a WIDE Mickey Thompson 275/40/17 Drag Radial, which seems to fit the rim perfect, on my Coupe I have 15 x 10 rears with 28 x 9.0 Hoosier Slicks but I am going to 28 x 10.5 Mickey Thompson.

275/35/18s on the coupe no rubbing at all. Didn't even have to roll the fenders. 285 would fit no problem have plent of clearance, and now that the fenders are rolled maybe even a 295 perelli. In the front the 245s rub on really hard cornering (on ramp to freeway). next time ill probably d a 235 on the saleens or get a better offset

I had the same setup on my 01 vert and u could really see the hieght diff in the 40 front and 35 rear and it looked ugly with a taller tee in front so be cautious of this. Good luck with it and post pics!

The reason I asked is because the 94-98 rearends are just 1.85" wider than the Fox. Plus, since the back spacing on the 05-09 18x10s on amercan racing are 7" and the back spacing on the 94-04 18x10s are 6.3".
Just wondering if this would work.
Amercan racing has bullits and now FR500s 18x10s.
