18x9 Wheels on a Hatchback
I have a black 89 Saleen hatchback. Can I fit a set of 18x9 Saleen wheels? Any opinions on some of the replica wheels out there. I tried to fit a set of 17x9.5 Torque Trust II's off a 94 GT but they stick out of the wheels wells, but the fronts fit fine. It looks great from the side but not so much from the rear. I want to get as much rubber under the rear as possible.

The 18x9 should fit, but if they don't you will have to get you fenders rolled. Chicane sport tuning sells a fender roller. The wheels will stick out because the axle are from a lincoln mark VII I think. But that is why the tires stick out. I want to do the same thing with the 94-98 rims.

The fenders are already rolled. The axel length is wider in the rear as my fronts fit nice inside the fender wells, but you can see how the rears do not line up with the fronts. It gives the car the big -n- little look, even though they are 17x9.5's all thge way around. I think I am going to try to find someone local with a set of 18x9's and fit one on to see how it looks. Thanks for the info.

hey saleenfan...are your speelines the same offset front and rear?...i have a set of silver speedlines but the rears have a different offset i believe because on my 94 cobra they sit about the same as the front unlike usual on the sn-95 cars where the rears sit too far in, and they have deeper lug holes...and i was wondering if they'll work on my 91 saleen...do you still have the wider axles in yours?...
