Yes these are the wheels I will be using the ones in previous pics were 09 v6 wheels that were my girlfriends brothers that he let me use to wheel the car around on I need to shorten the fronts though a 9" wheel with that offset sticks too far out the fender so either get 7" wheels or get someone to shorten them for me as in cut and reweld

How is the rear end setup? Is it Fox length or SN95?

The front cobra r wheels don't fit they are 17x9 and they stick out to far I need them brought in but I dont wanna get a whole new set of wheels if I don't need to so I'm trying to see either how to fit the 9 inch wide wheel under the fender or what not
 
I'm running a 18x9 FR500 front wheel with 94/95 front spindles, cobra brakes, and stock control arms and it fits in the wheel well up front. But I have 10 inch rears and Sn95 axles out back so they stick out some. The wheels I believe are Sn95 offset.
 
That could be too I think they came with 24 and 36 mom offset which is I believe a 5.95 and a 6.45 inch back spacing so I will probably need the 6.45 back spacing to bring the wheel back into the fender

Mike, I was thinking about getting this done with a set of wheels also. I wonder what the staying power is on a set that gets welded properly - probably good a s factory. what do you think?

I wanted to run the Saleen Replicas 18's with my SN95 upgrade, but I only find them in 9". I have the 86 in stock fender form - but I relly want to make that wheel work...
 
Oh I put that rear in the car and that's not me haha that's my buddy that was a long night after school and all I think I left at 1130 that night and that area is his with that kawa 450 he's rebuilding
 
Widening or narrowing wheels (on the inside) doesn't affect the mounting offset, so your fender to wheel clearance doesn't change. It's pretty popular to have Weldcraft make a set of big and littles. I saw a picture of a set of 03 Cobra wheels that they did. 5" up front and 12" in the rear. It was weird seeing skinny factory wheels.

Most wheels that Weldcraft do tend to balance better than before they were modified.
 
That's pretty much what I figured the wheels now are a 5.95 bs unless its my eyes or that the camber is out of whack I really don't know it hasn't been aligned since I put the Upr Products cc plates
