I found a set of staggered saleen wheels for a s197 mustang with 295 35 18 rear tire on a 18x 10 wheel, I know I am going to need the vintage venomwheel conversion spacers so the wheels aren't tucked in ,, with my car bein lowered ur average 1.5" or so does anyone think i will rub the rear tires and poss may need to get fenders rolled ? or should it clear ? i read a lot of guys running large 315 17 and 295 18 tires on here and was wondering if anyone has any rubbing isssues ? does anyone have s197 wheels on there sn95 with any issues ? anyone use the vintage venom sn95 wheel conversion with any reviews ? thanks again.. i d hate to buy these wheels and tires and spacers for them to rub and not be able to drive when i drop car off lift :undecided: thanks again for any input.. much app.. take care

You won't have to get your fenders rolled. 295/35s fit with ease.
However, you might want to be careful as s197s wheels have completely different offsets than our cars.
Do you have any more specs on the wheels?

you'd be tucked way inside the fenders. Most people need like a 2 inch spacer to make the s197 offset look good lol
has anyone used the vintage venoms spacer s197 to sn95 wheel conversion kit ? id be tucked inside still with this kit ? http://www.vintagevenom.com/mustang-full-disc-brake-conversion-kit.htm

if the spacers give you the proper offset then you should be in good shape, mine didn't rub until i lowered the rear down past 2" and even now it only rubs during hard left turns.

wtf, and extra $220?? Are you sure it's not cheaper to just get the proper offset?
yes its not cheaper staggered saleens with nitto invo tires def go for $1400 shipped ,, cheapest i ve have found,, prob even more now.. ill easily pay the $225 for the spacers IF they make the wheels looks good and not sucked in.. thanks again,,anyone have the wheel conversion kit ?

The problem is most people's rear ends shift just a little from doing burnouts or getting on the hwy so one side might rub.. I had 295 nitto invo's and my driver side would rub. They will look good though.
Wheel conversion kit is just a fancy name for wheel spacers. You can find them for much cheaper than $220.
And I'm almost positive no one on here is running that 'vintage venom' kit.

Idk what wheels you're trying to get but if they're SN95 Saleens then it probably is cheaper/better to buy some for our cars instead of running spacers.

that's what I'm thinking. I've seen saleen sets go for $450 or so. $600 with tires....
Hold out for the proper offset wheels and you'll be happier!
thanks for all the input,, however i will be happier with more money in my pocket .. and these s197 and spacers both would cost me under a grand and the tires on the wheels have few only a few hundred miles on them which makes .. where does everyone that has staggered saleen get them at with tires and what is the price ? the cheapest i have seen a black staggered wheels with at least 285 in rear was about $1300 with shipping .. thanks again if anyone has any place that has the wheels and tires packages cheap please pm me.. thanks again

that's buying brand new at that price. What are you getting these wheels used for?
guessing 18x10 and 18x9 black saleens?
