I got an issue

First of all i got ranger axles/drums, deleted quad shocks, tubular lca's, 18x10 bullitts +26 offset, nitto nt555r drag radials 285/35/18, rolled fender lips, eibach pro-kit springs.

The inner side of my wheels are barely rubbing on the body so i want to run sn95 axles and brakes. That will push my tires out 3/4" each side, anyone else runs these size wheels/tires on sn95 axles on a fox? Pics and links pls.

I'll post pics later today of how they look now it looks like it'll be a close fit. Dont want them sticking out too far i think it looks weird.

Also wanna run 1/4"-3/8" wheel spacers in front, will i need longer studs for this?

i would leave it as is. going with the sn95 axles will pose other problems. i'd rather let the inner wheel well rub than for my tires to hit the fender and possibly damage it. take a BFH and bang on the inner wheel well to get some additional clearance. another ting you can do is go with 275s next time in the rear.

Go wider Friend, But youll be driving buy yourself, just remember even with a fender roll, and Sn95 rearend, means no passengers in the back, tight turns will rub fenders, Hopefully uve upgraded your upper and lower controle arms as well, I think wider looks great in the rear, but i dont drive behind myself to look at it, so go with what you want bro. and as for your buddies riding in the back i pretty sure someone can tell you how to stiffin up the rear so that you could have passengers.

Slot your caliper brackets so that it will allow you to bolt them behind the axle housing flange. Doing this will only allow 3 bolts to fasten your caliper bracket, not 4. It has been done without any issues. then you can bolt on any 94-04 Mustang rim on the back. Still recommend rolling the rear wheel wells. I wouldn't mess with spacers in the front. If they rub at full left and right, I'd just put a spacer on the inner tie rod.

You could also go with SN95 rear end and go with a 05+ mustang offset. Offsets near or around 40mm is what you're looking for with this set up.

Here is my car with the SN95 rear end with 05+ offset 18x10 wheels. The fronts are 94-95 Mustang spindles with 94-04 offset 18x9 wheels.

with 10" back wheels you need to keep the fox offset, try some time with a BFH on the inner fenders or small spacers to get them off the inner body.
