5 lug Rims Help

[marine_2003]

I have almost completed my 5 lug rear swap, and am looking for a set of rims. I used the axles out of a 94 GT, so i know that they will stick out 3/4" on each side. Will these rims fit in my 85?

Not in the rear, they will stick out and hit the fender lips.

You are pretty much stuck with 17x8's when using the SN95 rear track axles.

If you really want to run 17x9 wheels on the rear, you will need to revert back to Fox offset using 5-lug fox-lenght axles and the north cobra bracket setup.

I have the northracecars brackets with my SN95 Axles, do you reccomend a set of rims? Also do you have a link or page that I can look at them?

Thanks

The NC brackets won't work with SN95 axles. Are you sure you are using the right parts? Have you installed the rear setup yet??

I have most of the rear setup installed, the axles are in temp rims and tires so i can move it, now this, thanks for letting me know, now i need to sell my SN95 axles and hope to find a set of fox length axles, because i paid some good money for those brackets.

Well, with the fox lenght axles, you are good to go with the rims you picked. Just don't go too big on tires.

I would go 245/45/17 up front and either the same on the rear or try to get a 275/40/17 back there.
