Anyone in here either have or know someone who is running 18 inch saleens on a fox body? I'm thinking of ditching the 1999 cobra's for some saleen replica's, I have 245/45's with no rubbing issues, just throwing around some idea's. I was looking at the 17 inch saleens but the just dont look right for some reason
Those are 9 inches wide. I would suggest a 275 at least for the rear. You can run 245's but they will be stretched and it makes the wheel lip stick out, which you might rash against a curb. You might get away with 255's on the front without rubbing. Goodyear tires run wide, so if you go 245's make it a Goodyear. BFG's run small, so I wouldn't buy 245 BFG's for the front.
Thanks guys, those friggin tires in that size range are expensive!! I may just get the 17 inch saleen replica's and be done with it!
I am going with 255/35/18s out front, and 285/35/18s out back on my wheels (I do have 10" rear wheels though). I will let you know how they fit when they get here!
cool, my car is torn apart now for paint, wheels will be in a few months, please keep me updated on how yours work out
