That's pretty sweet.
Congrats on the new dad thing! Baby and wife doing OK?

I know this thread is old 'really old'...but I am planning on widening my two rears to 9in and was wondering what offset you had them use for your wheels.
Not sure that it matters, but my car is using the Maximum Motors Road and track kit ( Maximum Motorsports :: The Leader In Mustang Performance Suspension ) and my fender is slightly rolled. I'm thinking the Panhard Bar is gona clear fine, though I expect the exhaust may rub a tad (Quad shock is gone).
Any other info you may think is valuable wouldn't go unappreciated, as I'd like to have as much info as possible before cutting two OEM wheels.
Thanks!
Your car looks great btw :rolling:
You cannot change the offset. The mounting hub remains the same. When they cut the wheel, the material is added to the backside which is behind the hub. This is where you get your width.
Your panhard bar shouldn't come into play IMO and the rolled fenders certainly will help.
Here's something to think about also. The aftermarkets Cobra wheels already push the wheel out further on the Cobra since they were made for the standard Fox axle length. You may want to consider widening a set of those and forgo using a wheel spacer. You'll save the cost of the spacers and studs if it gives. It's something you may want to research a bit as far as costs, and the different backspacing.
It was mine. On a perfectly centered rear axle, the outer lip of the rim is almost right at the outer edge of the quarter panel. Too close for comfort for my taste, and really looked like they stuck out too far IMO.
