They don't make 17x10, only 10.5s, only Deep Dish, and they are a chore to fit right in the back of a fox. I don't have any pics, but I run 18x9 and 18x10 DD bullitts, pic in the sig.

do you have anymore pics of your car? What did you have to do to fit the DD's in the rear? Any clearance issues with the front wheels? I plan to run 9's up front and I guess 10.5's out back. Thanks alot! Your car looks SICK!

I have a bunch of pictures I can grab later on (at work now). The fronts rub on the fenders, and of course on ful lock on the A arms. Other than that they sit well. The rears dont rub anything unless you get the car real articulated on a hill, or toss it into a corner hard.

So I'm viewing 25thmustang's pics and from across the room I hear my girlfriend: "WTF? Why is that car so pimped out? How big are those wheels?"

Well, I like it. I'll probably get the same wheels for my car, but most likely 18X9" all around.

I'd call it pimped out in a good way.

What are the specs on those 18s? Offset, back spacing and all that fun stuff.
Also what are you running in the rear for your 5 lug swap?

Fronts are 18x9 with a 24mm offset (I think 6.75 BS, but don't quote me on that). 255/35/18 Falken FK452s.

Rears are 18x10 with 22mm offset (I think same BS), with 295/35/18 Falken FK452s.

Rear is fox length axles, SN95 discs, North Racecars brackets... Might be doing Cobra brakes soon though!

how do you like the sn95 brakes? Thats probally the same 5 lug conversion I'm about to do. My buddy has sn95 front setup he said he'd sell me for $100. Worth doing?

I like them a lot... Much better than the fox stuff, and I think I will be going to Cobra brakes soon (13" front rotors, 11.65" rears). Going to powder coat the calipers this time, and maybe some good rotors and pads. For having used parts in there, it stops real well. An upgrade that is easy and worth doing in my eyes.

You don't want a massive tire... they cost a good bit more!

Hey 25thmustang.... I am looking into a set of 17x10.5 rears AFS 03 cobras Backspacing is 6.9 and offset is +27. Will I have a hard time stuffing them inf my fox / stock width axles ... with 275-285s??

I do know the 10.5 wheels have a harder time in the rear than the 10s that I run. As far as stuffing that back there, I am not 100% sure. With mine I kind of did the 5 lug upgrade to run these exact wheels. Try and find someone with 17x10.5s and ask them, they would know better than me.

Sorry I coudln't help more.

Not sure what to do- I guess I can buy them and throw them on without buying the tires and see if it looks doable. If not- back on the forums they go!
