It sounds like a 18x9 with a +36 offset will stick out of the front wheel wells little to far to me. I test fit a 18x9 with a +34 and it past the top of the fender flip.
The 18x9 with +45 may better choice for up front.
Out of curiosity where are you getting these rims from?
AmericanMuscle sells universal le-mans and rocker strip kits, but you may need to buy two sets seeing our cars are much longer than a mustang.

Here are the absolute minimum numbers that should work for the 2003+ panthers. This is from my calculations, it is recommend to test fit rims for clearance before mounting any tires on them.
??x7.5 - 34 to 44mm offset

My stock tires from the factory were perfectly fine no problems.
But when I replaced them with the same BFG's after they wore out that is when my problem started. Some where around 70 to 80 mph the front end wants to shimmy a little, like...
Get the new SCT X3, it has preprogrammed tunes from SCT as well as the ability to have custom tunes added to it, and it is priced the same as the xcal-2 on many websites.
As long as you have the correct size tires front and rear you will be fine.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors (TPMS) in the 2007+ Mustangs do not effect us, so you can remove the TMPS from the mustang rims and mount them on your Marauder just fine.
