does anybody run 17x10.5 rear wheels on a fox? I am trying to find out if i can do it on a customers car.

Ive seen 18x10 on the rear of a fox, n it had plenty of room for an extra 1/2 inch

A guy on StangNet has 17x10.5 on the back of his fox. He rolled the fenders, had to do some hammer massaging inside the fenderwell, and is running a small spacer (although he didn't say what size - to clear his tail pipes) to get them to fit but they fit just fine. It will be very close but it can be done.

I have them on mine....

Has a 3/8 or 7/16 spacer to clear the wheel wells and pipes but the car can't be slammed in the back or the tires rub the fender lip.

what is your rear ride heigth now? Is it closer to stock or is it lowered at all?

[somethingclever]

Not really sure...car was purchased this way.

I would think it's lowered a small amount.

I'm goign to sell this setup so I can lower the car to where I want it.

hey just giving my experience with spacers. the ones that just go in between the hub/rotor and the wheel sometimes need new studs in order for them to be long enough to extend the wheel.. tim thats why i brought my spindles down to you to have you take em to whoever to get those new studs into it. just giving heads up to try and help keep headaches away.

what size are your rear tires John?
