17x9, 26mm offset, 6" BS wheels on a foxbody?

[90GT]

I wanna use a cool set of wheels I found for the front of my 1990 mustang. The specs are mentioned above - 17x9 wheel with 26mm o/s and 6' of backspacing. The only mods done are 1.5' lowering spring and the Ford M-2300-K brake kit. I plan on running 255/40/17 tires all the way around as well. Does this sound like they'll fit? Im thinking they should... but don't really wanna drop $800 bones if there's no way they will. Any thoughts guys??
Thanks!

The wheels that Ford suggested to go with that kit were +24, very close. So at worst you may need to put thin spacers behind them, but probably not. For the rear you need around +36 on a 9" wheel with that brake & axle package.

Make sure that you have enough steering rack limiters in place so that you don't grind those nice wheels on the lower control arms at full lock!!

yup...many aftermarket wheels will hit the lower control arms when cranked

I run two sets of those wheels with the 24mm offset w/255/40 Nitto tires (which are skinnier than other brands) on my lowered Fox. Rears needed a 5mm spacer to clear because of the panhard bar, according to MM - no quad shocks on my ride tho - you may have to reverse those to clear.

What axles do you have though Paul? The OPs M-2300-K brakes use the SN95 length axles ..

[tulowd]

Fox Axles, early (94/95)SN95 front spindles which give a 8 mm wider track

+24 is fine with Fox axles for the rear on 9" wheels, but with SN95 axles +36 at least is needed ...

I have 17x9 American Muscle Cobra knock off rims non my Fox
Have the longer sn axles with panhard bar no spacers needed, just a couple steering rack limiters up front
Rolled inner fenders, 245/45/17 nitto 555

Incorrecto, mon ami
When I bough the Fox, it had an SN95 rear end with the same wheels on it. 245/45/17 tires on 17x9 w/ 24mm offset. No probs, they moved outbard a bit and looked pretty good.

Really? And they didn't rub over a good bump? Fender lips rolled / shaved?
