This may sound like a retarded question but idk... I was thinking of black bullitts for my red fox. I wanted a deep dish look for the rear and seen the 17x10.5. I know I would have to roll the fenders and such to get 10.5's to fit, but then I seen 18x10s. Would 18x10s fit better than the 17x10.5s or will the extra inch in height not be worth going to and cause more/other fitment problems? For the front I was gonna go with 8 inch wide 17's or 18's depending on my choice for the rear. Im sure the backspacing and offset #'s are probably different on the 17 vs 18, but with so many replica brands i dont know if the backspacing/offset #'s are consistent.

Anyways if this thread was a waste of your time, heres a nice pic to make it worth while. (not my fox, sadly. but i think these are 18")

LOL! Yes, those are 18" wheels. 18x10s fit better than 17x10.5s. It is a local friend's car he just finished painting and I helped him get his brake setup figured out. Stock length axles and 18x10 wheels in the rear with 295/30ZR18 rear tires.

More pics of the wheel fitment:





And a nice pic showing the fitment:
