    alright, I can afford a set of roh's. Probably not with tires, but wheels alone yes. I'm staying 4 lug guys. Said and done!

    Plus, there is a set of welds on the corral for 425 right now.

    yeah, cant beat it brandon.......not to push on them, but the name, structural design, warrenty & reputation of the ROH wheels may help in your decision. if i may add, these things i just mentioned should have a big effect on anyones interested decision. being one that has has numerous wheels on my car, i would like to say that some of the most expensive & prettiest wheels were the worst in manufacturing & structure. since i can say w/o being banned, the ROUSH wheels were crap. though beautiful & expensive. they had chaffing & chipping chrome problems in less than 2 weeks time. so much for the "ROUSH" name. they let "PRIME WHEELS" make thier wheels for them. not a bad company but deffinately lower end of the aftermarket spectrum for sure.......'nuff said, get some well deserved wheels, good ones up front, learn from my mistakes............

    now I just have to decide what sizes.

    Me thinks 17x7.5 in the front, and 17x9.5 out back. I defenitly want the staggard stance.

    Not to sure if the 9.5's will fit though.

    yes, the 9.5's were designed for the fox body stang. they are a perfect fit, i must say that they had thier crap together when designing these. most fox stang owners go with the 8.5" front & 9.5" back. the lip is the same either way, same depth lip that is, but the backspacing was offset from front to rear for the staggered look. fills the wheel wells perfectly. sorry if i rained on it a bit, the lips dont very in depth, thus the price being affordable..........

    Oh, I didn't know they weren't 9" wide. Can you still put a 275-40-17 on a 8" wheel ?

    no, still cool, I like it when someone starts looking at the car and wonders just how far the tire is going to keep going under. lol

    Whats the largest size tire that will fit on a 7.5" wheel? what about the 9.5? 275/40?

    let this be said, the fenderwells will need messaged to fit the rear offset. you can go 8.5" out back if you do not want to do this but the 9.5's look stout!!! i higly recomend them.....there are several ways to go about rolling the fenders proffesionally w/o damage. id be more than willing to help in any way........

    I'm not afraid to roll my fenders. Pointers? you can email me if you want justin. If it's easier for ya. I plan to try and run a 315/50/15 drag radial at some point, so there will be some massaging for sure. I have never rolled the fender lip myself though.

    lol, fup that steve. lol. I may consider em. I might need some more pics to be totally convinced. My grandparents just agreed to throw some money towards the wheels for my christmas gift.

    I think a set of the snypers costs somthing like 600 bucks with out tires.

    I'll just have to paint my calipers and clean the rotors and drums up some I guess.

    Nah just buy the 4 lug version. They don't look that bad IMO.

    I think the snyper looks a million times better than the Zs.

    the more I look at em, the more I agree steve. Pluss the clear coat polished will be easy to keep clean.

    I may do the 5 lug thing though since I'll have to save a bit for the tires, whats 100 more bucks for rotors axels and drums? and to not look like early 80's porno technology.
