you will need fox length axles or theres an adaptor plate you can buy to use sn95 axles.. and you can use 93 cobra e-brake cables..

Yes the '94-'95 rear end will bolt right up but the axles are 3/4" wider on each side. To keep fox width you can buy some North Race Cars brackets and use Ranger axles and you can use everything off your '94-'95 rear end except axles.

^^^ I'd like to see it cus sometimes it just sticks out way to much and looks ridiculous. If you have different rims with the right offset and stays tucked in, we'll that's a different story and I'm sure it looks fine

my 82 ex-chp.. sn95 with 275 tires.. OEM Mach rims..
If you want the wheels to be tucked in, use 05-09 offset rims..

Yes but the mach rims are 17x8 right? what if you tried to put a 18x10.5 in the rear, it would stick out right?

very true! the not correct wider offset will fuck u when u run anything besides a 8 plus rim. 9 wide rims need small tires and to have the lip massaged in. run 8 wide rims an be happy or get the correct offset stuff listed above and run ten or wider rims. be sides running a 8 wide rim out there like that is leaving inches of forgotten room in side the wheeel well.

So with the right offset, the sn95 rearends look good.

depends on offset.. i hav some 03 cobra rims right now, and theyre fine too.. 10.5" rims would need just the right offset (05-09)..
just have to make sure its the right combination of offset, rearend, rim width, & tire width..

Fuck switching offset with some whack ass '05 and up wheels, get the NRC brackets if you want to do it right.
