ATTN: 18x10 saleen wheel owners

[GaryG]

do u guys have to use a small spacer in the back to get them to line up with the wheel well, or does it depend on how wide of a tire u get?

 

[OnyxCobra]

Depends on the tire, some look lined up and some look a touch in.  Mine are close but not perfect, i have 295s. Probably the best pic i have to show it:

 

[GaryG]

did u have to do anything to the wheel wells to fit the 295's? what bout the quad shocks?

 

[OnyxCobra]

Well I had removed my quads prior due to lower control arms so i don't know if they would have hit or not, but other than moving one of my tailpipes over nothing else had to be modified.

I love those Saleen wheels on that black Cobra. sweet car.

I still have my qua shocks on the car and as i stated on the other thread i have to beat the inner fender wel, due to the tire rubbing against it in real sharp turns.


on the next picture, if you look on the very top of the tire were the tire and the fender well almost touch.

did you massage your inner fenders? or do they just look like that?

any rubbing on the quads?

 

[reduceallpain]

Im not 100% positive if they rub or not I think its just a little dirt on the tire but I see what your sayin

 

[Trickflow.GT]

yea i just getting ready to mount my new 295's . ill have pics up hopefully next week

I am not running 18", but I have 17x10.5 bullits with 315/35's and all I had to do was flip my Quad shock over so the rod end runs up to the subframe instead of it running to the axle. I do not have any pics of it at this time or I would post.

 

[GaryG]

this might be helpful to members who r going w/ 18x10's, as i was getting chrome 18x9/18x10 saleens, but today my cousin offered me his old wheels, so ill be getting those instead

Saleen 18x9 Front
Saleen 18x10.5 Rear(YES 10.5 Inch)
Goodyear F1 G3 245/35/18 Front
Goodyear F1 G3 295/35/18 Rear
Eibach Sportlines
Koni Yellow Double Adjustable Front Struts

I had to roll fenders. It didnt rub the quad shocks but I flipped them anyway as you can tell. And I had to hammer that dented section back some and acouple of other areas.

Let me know if you need anymore information.

If you look at CW Cobra's pics you can see how closer mine are to the closer than his.
Same exact tires. His wheel 18x10 mine 18x10.5.
