Another "Will these fit?": 18" Mustang wheels
@72bluNblu thanks for the heads up on the caps. I had noticed them in one of you other posts. They definitely fit the wheels nicely looks wise too.
As for my fitment in the front, if I have to Ill play around a bit with spacers and see if I can correct that bit of deficit you are talking about. I was reading again last night and figuring I may run into that issue because everyone else was running the stock Bullit wheels with a different offset and having good luck. I knew these were a bit different.
At this point I am way too deep to back out and the rims are used so I cant return them and get a different offset. LOL
If they rub a bit at full lock on the frame I am not too terribly worried about it. If I need to move the fender brace and massage the fender lip, I am ok with that as well. I just plan to drive and enjoy it as a cruiser, no autoX or anything so Ill just have to be aware of entering driveways off the street and whatnot maybe? :)
As for the rear, my 295 measures out at 11.5" wide which makes sense since 295mm is 11.61". In my wheel well I have 12.25" (with rolled lip) to work with. It did occur to me that I may have a bastard 8-3/4 rear as it isn't stock to the car. But, it is sbp and I am guessing someone didn't go through the trouble to swap it to sbp. With that said I am not planning for 12.25, I am planning for 12.125" to be safe. No doubt all of this is going to be super close. Ill only have about an 1/8" on either side of the tire. Really if I find that the tire is too close to the spring still that I can move outboard just a bit still based on the ride height I am seeing most of these 18"s needing. It appears that most everyone's pictures have the top of the wheel opening right at the top of the tire. I am figuring that's where Ill be as well, and if that's the case it'll get me a tiny bit more room.
With all of that said I am certainly not scared to work the inner fender well a little bit to get it em in there. :)
Wish me luck dude! I take your concern to heart as you have clearly done your homework and know this stuff pretty well. Thanks for your input too by the way!
