E3, the bright red. Not the more maroonish one.

18's actually look pretty good on an SN95. Better on a new edge... but, oh well.

OnyxCobra has a set of 18" saleens on his car which actually look pretty decent.

17" IMHO is max for a fox, and well balanced on an SN-95. But 18" will also work on an SN


here is a pic of his car. To see more, go check out the SN-95 wheel thread

Do not put 20's on an SN-95, you will look like a tool.

I have to disagree with 86 5.0L though, 18's look perfect on an SN-95, 17" are a bit small.

These FR500's would look perfect on the '95.

Agreed, that's why I consulted MF, heh... I am gonna go with the 18s, now just trying to figure out tire size.

If you go with 18x9's then a 275/35/18 would be perfect.
