Ya, the 94+ stang is the way to go... it only adds 0.75" to each side, so you don't need crazy offsets. (the usual 17x8", 5.72" BS will do). You can get the parts from a v6 car too.

The other axles are 1.25" longer I believe, so then you have to use different offsets for the rear.

For the front, you can use the old Lincoln rotors for some types of wheels... but the bearing cap sticks out too much for some centre caps (eg. 98/99 cobra 17x8"). In this case, you gotta go to the 94/95 spindle, sealed bearing, rotor & caliper.

The 96/97 spindle puts the wheel out 1/4", requiring some massaging, and the tie rod arm is curved, so you'd need a bump steer kit. Otherwise, the geometry is supposed to be more improved.
