    There is some good information in this thread:
    http://vb.foureyedpride.com/showthre...ies-on-the-car

    I think in one of the last pages I posted all of the offset information for the 98-02 and 03+ CV wheels as well as the Chrysler wheels. I am personally going with the 98-02 CV wheels on my wagon.

    I cannot find it anywhere, but David Claflin did confirm that 13" Cobra brakes would fit under the '98-02 16" CV wheels with very minimal grinding on the caliper.

    Looks like I'll be making the switch from Chrysler steelies to the Crown Vic wheels - https://youtu.be/BVRATpKlPgg

Tires are 225/50-17 and the spindles are 94-95 Mustang. Stock A-arms.
    Bungy, I just wrapped up a (early model) Ranger rotor swap for 5-lugs on the front. So I have stock spindles unlike you have 94-95. But my understanding was that 94-95 was only .120" wider than stock (basically 1/8"). And sounds like you added another 1/8" for spacers in the front. I mounted one of my P71 wheels up with 225/50-17 on, and I estimate I'll likely need in the range of 3/4-1" spacers. How close is your tire to hitting the strut/shock? That's what I'm not clearing right now.
