I found a set of track wheels with ET Streets for a great price. I believe they were on this guys 03ish mach 1. Anyways, i think they have a 12mm offset and 4in backspacing.
Im running sn95 axles right now, but im ordering some new ones soon, and wondering how they are gonna fit, if they will stick out? if i should go to fox length axles. I believe my 94/95 cobra wheels have a 5.72 backspacing...

Thank in advance!

the sn95 axles are 3/4" wider per side.

with stock axles, youll want a 15x8 wheel with 5.5" back space.

4.5" backspace 8" wheels sit flush with fenders on stock axles.

So even if i go with stock length axles, the wheels are gonna sit about .5" out past the fenders? I think its a 15x8 wheel with a 26x10.5 tire.
My wheels now sit flush with the fender, thats a 17x8 with 275s. With sn95 axles.

Is there any way to make these wheels work, without looking like i just brought my car from over the boarder.lol

ide double check the width and backspace measurements.

are these weld wheels or some knock off stealies or what?

i think they are an american racing steel rim.... i found them on summit, dont know if they are the same. im waiting for a response... if i go to fox length axles and they stick out a hair like .5"? this is just for the track, so as long as it doesnt look horrendous...

itll be close. you're already disk brake, and im not sure if cobra brakes will fit behind those american racing wheels, unless you have a set of brackets the guy on corral made a few sets up to use gt brakes on ranger axles.

The guy said they would clear mach1 and cobra rear disc brakes. And im not worried abou the brackets, cause i do custom brake kits for a living. Thanks for the help, ill try and find out for sure on the BS from him. Thanks
