good deal but lincoln rotors WILL NOT WORK with fr500s. you must use sn95 brakes for the front. LSVTECHATCH or something like that on here sells the complete front swap for $150. thats what i used on a customers car.
the wheel sizes i used are from wheelreplica. The fronts are 17x9 with a +24mm offset or 5.85 bs. The rears are 17x10.5 with with a +27mm offset or 6.84 bs. i used 245/45/17s up front and 275/40/17s in the rear.
if you use lincoln rear axles and dics it should fit fine but if you use SN95 axles they may stick out since they are wider. and if you used a drum conversion (my customer did) you will need 7/16s spacer and longer studs which put the lip of the wheel even with the lip of the fender. you may be able to get away with 3/8s to tuck them in more but i didnt try that.
good luck.
