Sweet! ...but won't you have tire rub issues in the rear with those 345s, even with rolled fenders? Love the color, too!

No rubbing yet really. Only if I hit a really big bump, but as rare as I drive the car, when I do I chose my routes very carefully lol.

You could always go with the the regular 9" wheels and run spacers or have them widened. I have a set of the Ford Racing FR500 wheels in the garage I took off because I wanted something wider in the back.

that sucks! i would want a 10.5 in the rear but without the deep dish look. I currently run the 10.5 AFS knockoff's in the rear and they look great (stock), but i really want some aftermarket wheels. Just not a mixed/matched deep dish and no deep dish. It would have to be one or the other, but not both on the same car. :shrug:

That's what gargstang is saying. Start with the set of four 9" rims you like and have the rear pair widened 1.5" or 2". The extra width is added to the inside of the rim. You will probably have to use spacers to offset the extra width. It costs about $200 per rim plus shipping and spacers, but that's a reasonable price to get what you really want, I think.

i may have to do that. i do have 1" spacers i use to run on the stock wheels, but im doubting those would be enough.

Exactly. I wanted the wider look but didn't want to cut up the real FR500's I have. I have yet to see any that are not deep dish and are wider.
