it will fit and bolt up but its wider and you may run into wheel issues.

chances are the wheel would be more towards the wheel lip so not a good thing. fox rear on a sn95 is good but sn95 in fox may have issues

94 axels fit fine on my 93. I dont have any problems with them and 275/40/17 but they did rub when the car was lowered. If I remember right the axels are only a hair longer on the sn95 than on the fox.

Here is a pick of mine. They dont really stick out and thats with the 275. Also make sure you use the read disk brakes from the 95.
