18 inch wheels

Anybody have pics of a bird or cougar with a staggered set of 18 inch wheels?

I'm thinking of getting the SVE drift wheels from LMR.

I should be getting the wheels this weekend, so onto the 5 lug conversion.

I wanted to swap the entire rear end, but I found some 5 lug lincoln mark vii axles for 20 bucks. Will these work?
On the coolcats website it said that all i needed were the axles and rotors from a 91-92 mark 7 and I could still use my TC components. But I didn't find any info using the search option here or on the turbotbird site about using lincoln parts.
Just wondering since it sounds fairly easy and affordable. I'm surprised everyone used sn95 axles. Except for Cougarman. But he did use lincoln brake components.
Am I missing something?

Well I finally did it. Converted to five lug. It took me a while, been real busy all year with college courses, even the summer. Had a 2 week break, and went for it. I was going to use 99-04 mustang parts up front, but decided not to. I want to wait and save my pennies for some cobra brakes, or better. Ended up using svo rotors.

For the rear I picked up some lincoln axles about 5 months ago. And then about 2 weeks ago I got the brakes,lines, calipers, etc. from a lincoln mark 7. So everything worked out perfect.

Tossed on my mustang wheels. 18x9 255/40 and  18x10 275/40
The car sits like a truck in the pics, but it looks great in person.







The rears fit perfect, no rubbing, but then again nobody has sat in the back. Still have the quad shocks.

And then some fan blade wheels. Fronts don't fit over hub.
