You're likely looking for 17x7 wheel, 4x108mm bolt pattern, offset in the 40-45 range (give or take - check it, your SE may vary from my numbers) ... and a good-looking design.  T.

Koni's did the trick for me ... I was rubbing the fender in the back forever when I got my 18's, until I got the Koni's and made it a stiffer ride. Now, I do not rub on anything. I'd also recommend getting the Ground Control Coil Over kit so that you can customize your ride level. This combo worked wonders for my suspension department, and the car looks fat as hell now. http://svtitan.com ------------------ -SVTweeter- 98.5 Black SVT PIAA blue platinum fogs,CATZ MSC in factory fog holes 18" Chrome Neeper Titans KKM Induction, 2 JL 12W6's, Rockford Power800@2, ROckford 200@4, (4) Pioneer horn 6x8's 5% tint around, side markers, blackened back Reflector, B&M shifter shopping cart spoiler - I can fly baby! new - Bassani Cat-back Exhaust *****************************************

jiako@aol.com Joey's car was a 99, had the newer fenderliner. It didn't rub anywhere in there or on the fenderlips. My car is a 98, it was rubbing but the fenderliner is still intact, but it still rubs the fenderlips. My car is using 18x8's with a 40mm offset. I have Koni's and H&R's, it helps a little to keep the tires off the fenders, but it's not a miracle, as they still rub on big hits/dips/heavy loads. Joey no longer has his Contour, he got purchased a 99 Cobra, and immediately slapped on 19" HRE's, 8.5's in front, 10.5's in the back. Joey's email... Joey2win@aol.com Dion 98 SVT

Yes I rub with my 18s, but I guess I've learned to live with it.
