Here's a 5-lug/wheel thread that has not been discussed before.
I started a thread on the Corral and got a lot of good info, but time to toss it on here and see what you guys have to offer.
Basically I took a read to the article in MM&FF about bolting up stock 17" S197 wheels to a Fox with the M2300K kit. They said it fit great as the deeper backspacing compensated for the increased offset with the SN95 rear setup.
Basically what I want is 9" Bullitts all the way around on my FOx, but I don't want to run the NC brackets because I plan on putting some race tires on my '97 Cobras for AutoXing and would prefer the wider SN95 stance in the rear.
SO my thinking was to run normal SN95 17x9 bullitts up front....and S197 17x9 bullitts in the rear.
Here's why I am thinking it will work
These are the bullitts from AMericanmuscle (formerly Mustang tuning)
BS of 17x9 SN95 wheel = 5.94"
BS of 17x9 S197 wheel = 6.77"
That's a 0.83" difference. The SN95 rear setup adds 0.75" of offset in the rear...see where I'm going with this???
Here's the thread I started on Corral.net
