Xporter, I think they might just be the same as the 18x10 Bullits.

EDIT: Yep, looked it up. They have a 22mm offset in the rear. Front is the 24mm offset.

Did you roll them front and rear? Do you have a link to the tool that you used, or a picture at least?

only rears

Thanks for the link. Did the paint peel on the lip after you rolled them?

 

[stanger maniac]

if done slowly and carefully with the heat gun you will not chip the paint. when i did mine it chipped on the inside in some areas only because i wasnt as careful as i couldve been. the car will be painted so i didnt mind.

 

[93FIVEOH]

Have you been able to come up with the full car shot yet?

not yet..still gotta get it painted.

 

[93FIVEOH]

I wouldn't mind seeing a side shot even if it's not painted, if you would be able to do so.

 

[stanger maniac]

here are some. a side shot will come later.

 

[93FIVEOH]

Thanks.

94/95 spindles have the same track width as the fox bodys, single piston calipers

96-98 have an 6?mm wider track width, single piston calipers

99-01 have an 8?mm wider track width, dual piston pbr calipers

This is not entirely correct...
I have a 5 lug conversion with 94 spindles and I know everyone on the internet says the 94-95 spindles preserve the stock track, but I have a hunch they push out the wheels just a tiny bit... I have a number of friends with 94-95 spindles who agree... I would estimate that it is a few mm.

The 96-98 spindles will push out the wheels 8mm further than the 94-95 spindles.

The 99-up spindles will push them out even further than the 96-98...

From my experience I would not even think about running anything other than the 94-95 spindles. My 17x8 Bullitts already rub just a bit under extreme load and that would just be made worse with 96-up spindles... I plan to address that with stiffer coil springs and slightly more negative camber.

 

[93FIVEOH]

Luke, have you read somewhere that the '99+ spindles increase track width more than 8mm? I have never heard/read this. The only thing I have heard of being wider than the '94-'98 cars on the '99+ cars, is the rear end.

Just for reference.....Many on here have used the 95 R wheel in 17X9, and with 26" tire and 24 MM offset, it should fit the same as the 18X9 24 MM offset FR 500 with 26" tire.

I have 01 spindles with Fox control arms and Eibach springs on my SVO with 17x9 Konigs and 255/40's no rubbing what so ever.

what offset are the wheels? typically with a 01 spindle using any of the popular factory wheels with a 24mm offset would make the wheel stick out, especially with a 255 tire.

 

[svoman2300]

Not sure about offset but 6" backspace. http://www.maximummotorsports.com/konig.asp Maybe it fits good because of the SVO k member?

 

[blown306stang]

heres mine

 

[DieselDiesel]

what brakes did you go with? i am about to do the same .. but with a titanium notch and black 18" FR500's

 

[blown306stang]

for the rear i used North racecars rear cobra conversion kit,they have 5 lug stock length axles,not like the FRPP kit that has SN95 axles that are longer.u get everything in the kit brackets,axles,calipers,e brake cables,rotors,all for $749.For the front i bought used 94-95 spindles from a yard,bought new hub,nut and shield,used a 93 cobra master cyl,stock booster, and 93 cobra prop. valve,and the rear adjustable prop.valve from FRPP.for the caliper just bought the FRPP cobra calipers off the 10 ann. cobra that come painted red,for the rotors i got those from i rotors.comwell i believe that should cover it.

 

[93FIVEOH]

How do you like your brake pedal feeling with the '93 Cobra MC and stock booster?

 

[blown306stang]

its awesome.as soon as u put a little pressure on the pedal the brakes grab,i turned the nut on the end of the booster shaft out 1/2 turn.
