Saleen Wheels On Fox

Hey all, I'm looking to buy some 18x9-18x10 saleen rims for my foxbody. I think the 98-00 style. So I need to do a 5 lug swap. Gona go with the LRS kit. I have a 1" front and roughly 1.5" rear drop on bbk springs. Anyone know what size tires will fit and the back spacing and what not? And if these wheels will even fit with this kit? I might need different front spindles if I'm not confused? Please explain what I'll need for these wheels! Thanks for the responses as always

I wouldn't buy the 10's in the rear. A fox will not easily fit a tire meant for a 10 inch rim, so you will be causing clearance issues for no reason.

I don't know the offsets of replicas that fit, but you shouldn't need spindles if you are doing a basic fox style 5 lug conversion.

If you get the offset right, i probably wouldn't go past a 275 in the rear (i find that a 265 fits better) or a 245 in the front.
And so you understand how wide that is, these tires will fit on an 8.5 rim.

Issue will be the front with that kit. The rims may/may not fit the rotors due to the hubs. If they do mount, you may not be able to run the center cap and/or will need a small spacer. Each aftermarket rim is different, so hard to say if it will fit well or not.
 
I'm running the 18x9's on all fours. 94-95 spindles up front stock length in the back on steeda springs. 255/35 front tires and 275/35 rears. No rubbing at all rear fenders are rolled and the car is a 92 so it has extra clearance up front.
