Hahaha....I wanted to know who's riding on 18's on their foxes....I'm looking to get the 18' saleen replicas off of mustangtuning.com or ebay and I was wondering if they'll fit with no problem on my 90 coupe. Right now I have 02 gt rims that are 17's and they rub a little on the front on full crank....what size tires you guys runing with your rims(i 'm looking to run 18x9's all around)?? Also how much can I drop my car with 18's??? Let me know!!! Thanks

Generally speaking you could probably lower your car .5 to 1" with 18's but it order for it to be streetable you would have to get a nice shock/spring setup and a rack limiter so they would not rub at full tilt.
The 9" width would hamper the steering effect. You may also have to massage your rear wheel wells with some BFH action.

265's in the front with 18's will mostl likely be too wide. I'm running 245-35-18 in the front and they still rub at full turn. But then again, it may be becasue of the offset of my rims ![[Frown]](frown.gif) Stick to 245's up front and 275's in the rear...it'll look good ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

YUP I just installed some 18" Saleen wheels on a fox with no problems, 245's in front and also 275's in the rear , No need to tear up the lip on the wheel well.....On a 91+ you cant install anymore limiter spacers.... ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
