Default 18" rims on 5.0

i have my 91 5.0 and i was wondering if the 18" rims would fit or if they would rub?

if they do fit what tire size would be best. the ones i'm looking at are 18x9

they will rub. i had 255 on the rear of my 89 gt with 18x9 y2k rims and they rubbed. but they might fit if you roll the fender. and you might have to take the quadshocks out.

18's with the correct backspacing will work fine. 275 will fit a SN95 not a fox without modification.
