18" Foxbody?

Ok I know this question has been asked a million times and I searched and read but I'm still unsure...So I just bought a 90 GT, its lowered with eibach springs, KYB gas struts, LRS 5 lug conversion, SSBC disk brake conversion, BBK Polyurethane rear spring isolators, and Steering rack limiters. I want to put 18x9 saleens on it, what do I need to do to get them to fit the safest way and what size tires to run? Thanks

5 lug conversion was after these photos, just to get the idea of the ride height.

there's a few kits LRS offered over the past couple years..I got the SN95 Cobra 94/04 13" front brake kit(came with drums for the rear)..did you use just the basic kit for like $400 or so? Noticed you're on Ft. Hood..used to live in Killeen..now I'm in Temple. Ever seen my LX around town? Don't mean to jack your thread..I've heard the offset on legit Saleen wheels are weird so they sit either too far in or too far out, can't remember..look into it.

I actually just bought the car....All he said was the LRS conv kit, I know he has the SSBC disk brake conversion on it too. So Im assuming he bought the $1269.99 kit. Im currently deployed in Afghan right now I bought the car from him through my brother in law. So Im just trying to see what I need to get to change over the wheels. I get home next month and the projects will begin. So Im just here on the internet ordering a bunch of stuff for my wife to put in the garage for when I get home. Any help is greatly appreciated

Thats a clean LX too by the way, havent seen it but Im in Temple all the time. Is there any mustang get togethers that you know of?

I have the SSBC disk brakes so what would I need to get for them to work with the rear axle then?
