The 79 coupe is coming along nicely and love the wheels man!!! I’m doing 18x8.5 front and 18x11 (with cobra brakes) on my project 1986 factory T-Top coupe with capri fenders…all sn95 stuff, 8.8 rearend and 94-5 spindles up front 👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve done the 79 to 86/93 tank conversion on my 79. All i did was hit the spare tire well and the back bulkhead with a dead blow. It was not hard at all. No cutting nothing like that. I also used 2 longer lag bolts from home depot instead of a spacer with the factory straps.
Awesome wheels and color choice! IRS sounds like a great idea would make an excellent corner carver , In My opinion but I still love Your Dream looks killer so far, Keep up the amazing updates and content. Thank You 🇺🇲 🇵🇷 🦊 👍
The wheels look killer! When you go to do the rest of the fuel system, save yourself a ton of hassle and mount the fuel pressure regulator in the rear of the car. These engines have a "returnless" system, so if you do a rear mounted regulator, you can eliminate the return line from the engine bay. Set the regulator to 70-80psi and forget about it.
Glad you brought this up. Ford's manual does say to run a return system even though a factory mustang is returnless. Funny...I just always go straight to the engine bay, no need for that at all. My torino returns from the pump itself back into the tank (external Quick Fuel pump) but then dead heads on a second regulator at the engine bay. Im not sure why I didnt think of this. Thank you for this idea!
Lol hey just delivered a package to your house today...lol I was like why does this house and amazing LX look so familiar then I saw the sticker...lol ding!!😂😂😂😂
@HOUSEOFDULA you were, but you left a few minutes after when I was coming back from the Westside where the older houses are. I saw Calypso driving away. I have only run that route twice. Usually I am on the Eastside closer to Matlock.
If you want it to handle, a Maximum Motorsports torque-arm/panhard bar is the way to go. If you're going straight line, check out Team Z. The 18s look great.
Yessir ...I'm rocking Team-Z relocated upper rear adjustable on my 86. Good stuff. MM is best of the best (no doubt), but Im not necessarily building a corner carver either, but that torque-arm setup gets you a bit of it all, straight line, corner carving, street driving. Damn nice setup. But Im shopping around, just may not be necessary.
Love the wheels, looking awesome! Also… I love the kid projects. It’s an excuse for us dads to get new toys. Get my girls little rc cars… dad gets one too. Get em a 4 wheeler…. Well, I can’t let em ride alone! Lol.
I had the same thing when I got my new wheels to took them to America tire and they opened the box's and one of the kids jack up the lip and I was piss so they gave me the back tires for free all I paid for the front because lmr was out of stock so 600+ dollars tires for free
HOUSE OF DULA yeah I was mad and it was on a Friday right before a cars and coffee the next day so I didn't want to wait until Monday to order new wheels
If you remove the spacer, to center the caliper over the rotor, you need to mill the mounting surface pad on the caliper the same amount as the spacer. Thus, this would actually bring the caliper "in" towards the car that same amount. The S&S kit has two way to center the rotor. #1 is the easy way and put the spacer behind the rotor. If you chose not to do that then you have to mill the calipers mounting pad. That's option #2.
@@HOUSEOFDULA yeah, but removing the spacer behind the rotor moves the rotor in too. You've bought yourself 5mm of clearance on the fender, but the wheel is still going to be close to the caliper. You're still gonna need a spacer between the wheel and rotor to widen that gap.
@@tommydavis537 Man you are correct! Didn't think of course the wheel moves in as well with it lol Id have to put the spacer between the wheel and the rotor to gain that clearance.
Maybe you can help me bud. I got the same ATS brakes as you and S&S kit. I’m getting the ESR wheels similar to you I wanted something like the SVE Series 3s but didn’t want something everyone has. I’ll be getting the CS11, CS1, CR1 or SR01 which is the same as the SVE series 3s so I doubt I’ll run that one I’ve had everyone and I do mean everyone about these wheels to make sure I don’t screw it up. I plan on getting 18x9 and 18x10.5 which are going on a 86 TTOP sound familiar Ha. Kinda worried the wheels may rub in the rear?? Anyways I’ve been told that I need a +22 and a 3mm spacer so the wheels don’t rub my ATS Brembo brakes? I literally almost ordered the wheels today thank god i didn’t since you posted this video up lol I asked ESR and they don’t like the idea of spacers. I told the guy I don’t mind a small spacer Do you think a 18x10.5 wheel rub in the back? And with a 18x9 with +22 spacer hit the ATS caliper? I can get a smaller size. Idk what size tire I just want some that fit the 18x9 and 18x10.5 tire! I will rub the lips and beat the rear if needed I just worry about the caliper.
Man this is hard, obviously without measurements, so I cant say for a CS or CR models, but the brembo is a big brake, as any 4 piston brake is. The offset and width are not as important really as the spoke design being designed for big brakes. Just by simply looking at the pics of a CS1, CS11, SR1 and CR1, these are all dished and relatively flat faced vs the spoke coming off the face, I don't "think" it would fit, but I'm judging by looks and not measurements. All sweet looking wheels. I have been down this road non stop for a solid year plus and drove me almost crazy so I UNDERSTAND. The truth is the brembos will limit any of the dished flat facing type wheels most of us run on these foxes. I did not reach out to ESR at all, do they have measurements on their wheels available? Going into all the work I did measuring Konig's, BBS, Aodhan, and even custom ones from BCForged (so bad ass but so $$$) wheels, what became clear was the need to use a modern style spoke designed for big brakes, but use the common size foxbody offsets. For the front a +22 brings the wheel out more. And I know a guy that ran an Aodhan (DS05,06 or 08) +22 front with ATS brembos and was better but still ran a spacer and machined the calipers to center it (vs a spacer behind the rotor), but with the wheels poked out, you now will have to worry about rubbing the front fenders (would need rolled) and turning radius being affected by rubbing. Rubbing Rear...This depends on offset but also largely tire size. Plenty of guys run a 10 or 10.5 in the rear and a +22 is common. I chose to stick on the narrow side for both front and back but still enough meat the tire has bulge and not that stupid stretched look lol my rear are 295/35 and fronts 245/40 This is tough...Ive had a lot of folks ask for what wheels fit this brake setup with SN95 spindles and 13" rotors. No way I would know without measurements with my exact car. My 17" FR500s fit with room to spare! lol so diameter isnt the big thing with those ATS brakes, but again its the spoke design...you need that spoke to poke OUT to clear the brakes. Same reason the FR500 mustang ran that wheel (big brembos). This is why I was looking at the Apex, and Forgeline series...Well priced, lots of choices in sizes, colors and design, that are popular for foxbodies.
@@HOUSEOFDULA Thank You for the advice. I've been going back and all day over these wheels lol. Every time I think I have it figured out I waver. Anyways thanks for the help I think im going to order something for my Jeep YJ Ls swap. You ever get in the mood to just order something feel better? Lol
@@antiricergt YUP Unfortunately I do. Finding the right wheel will drive you mad. But dont overthink it, get something that fits, looks rad call it a day. I beat myself up daily almost...I plan to make a video about just that, and ALL THE DAMN choices I ALMOST chose.

Sweet! Thats going to be a sweet build. Shoot over pics if you want prisonplanet88@gmail.com. Appreciate the comment.
Heard you on the Rollin' in my 5.0 podcast...listened to it yesterday. Great job and great listen!!
Appreciate it! Really unhappy with my own audio quality in that Podcast, but man it was a ton of fun and Chris and Gary and two really cool guys.
I’ve done the 79 to 86/93 tank conversion on my 79. All i did was hit the spare tire well and the back bulkhead with a dead blow. It was not hard at all. No cutting nothing like that.
I also used 2 longer lag bolts from home depot instead of a spacer with the factory straps.
Thanks . The recessed part of the floor is what you hit? Where the "tall / fuel pump area" of the tank sits in?
Awesome wheels and color choice! IRS sounds like a great idea would make an excellent corner carver , In My opinion but I still love Your Dream looks killer so far, Keep up the amazing updates and content.
Thank You 🇺🇲 🇵🇷 🦊 👍
I agree but that IRS puts a lot of poke out, and I couldnt run that deep concave, or deep dish rear. And its heavy.
Looking Great Mike
Excellent choice of wheels 👍🏻
I can't wait for the rears lol
Looks great!!!! The car is coming along really nice good job great planning
This is 1 awesome build. Just get better & better. Wheels were a great choice. 👍
Really appreciate that! Its slowly getting there
Looks Great

Great video, my buddy at work begged me to do this same swap on my 86 SVO. I couldnt do it. I ended up going Coyote swap on mine.
Both cool choices, completely understand man!
I really like the wheel choice! And I love the bronze! I plan to do a similar wheel for my Wild Strawberry hatch!
Oh man these would look killer on a wild strawberry
That’s going to look sick!!!
Can’t wait to see this complete. ❤
Love the wheels 😍😍😍
Wheels are 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love the scoop had one on my 86gt
Thanks, yeah, I go back and forth with this build to use it or not. Using it is also a little nod to the OG 2.3 turbo cars ;)
Can't wait for the rear real wheel reveal.
lol REAR WHEEL REAL REVEAL nice...Working on the 8.8 now
Lol hey just delivered a package to your house today...lol I was like why does this house and amazing LX look so familiar then I saw the sticker...lol ding!!😂😂😂😂
lol man thats crazy! Right on. I've heard it all but not THAT, I dont think I was home but say hi next time.

Much appreciated!
Love the Color MAN!
Thank you. Its a very nice matte bronze in my opinion. Not too blingy, subtle...
Just subscribed, gonna be a dope build
Sweet man! And appreciate the support, welcome!

Isn't this this the truth! lol I man what kind of dad would you be if you let be alone?
That looks bad ass
Thanks man!
Nice color…. yes sir,,
Thanks 👍
I have a 79 notch but I've gone old school aluminum slots unfortunately it's time to get rid of the car just no time to work on it
I had the same thing when I got my new wheels to took them to America tire and they opened the box's and one of the kids jack up the lip and I was piss so they gave me the back tires for free all I paid for the front because lmr was out of stock so 600+ dollars tires for free
Damn I did NOT get that lucky and get free tires. That would would been a bonus lol
HOUSE OF DULA yeah I was mad and it was on a Friday right before a cars and coffee the next day so I didn't want to wait until Monday to order new wheels
I don't think removing the spacer is going to help. The relationship of the caliper and mounting surface stay the same. Looking good brother!

Thus, this would actually bring the caliper "in" towards the car that same amount. The S&S kit has two way to center the rotor. #1 is the easy way and put the spacer behind the rotor.

@@HOUSEOFDULA I'm so pumped about this project I don't want you to have any setbacks. lol
@@tommydavis537 lol I appreciate it! I dont either but its inevitable
You need to put 96 and new spindles they don’t have the step up steering arm
This is correct. but I think it will also increase my track width. I'll look more into this bud much appreciate it!
No prob
