I've run 17 x9's on a few that have been lowered with no issues other than needing rack limiters , including my present ride.
4 Lug White 17 In Wheels. Can't Find Them
- Thread starter 98 white GT
- Start date
With a 245 tire I'm almost flush with the fender opening. I have a little room to drop the front and still clear the sheet metal, but I'm told using a 05+ wheel offset tucks it into the fender so there's probably a little more wiggle room there.
Huh,....Seems stupider than Larry to put a big assed wheel on the front and have to limit it's travel because it makes contact with parts of the front end...
Uhhhh....scratch the "stupider than larry" comment,....and don't pay any attention to my commentary in ANY of the moving Monster movies...Matter of fact,...forget I said anything.

It's funny, mike's limiters are called mud guards in new Zealand, but then they don't park in a driveway either.
You just have to pay attention to every thing I say. I ween you guys into my vocab, gradually so that I won't smoke you.
"Stupid Larry" was a radio character sidekick to Space Commander Wack back in Omaha in the 80's.

So,....Based on my memories of that show,...I "adapted" the word usage. Now every "fail" is a Stupid Larry.
Has kind of a nice roll off the tongue when you use it...........Let's use it in a sentence shall we?
"That dum sum bitch is Stupider than Larry."
The rear will clear, the The front wheel itself will make contact with the lower control arm when you turn it to full lock. That is what Stykthyn was talkin about w/ rack limiters. You will have to stop the travel to keep it from doing that.
Boy, here I thought he disappeared after being spoon fed a Google search result. Not sure the rack limiter talk is going to go very far.
Is this comment nessecary?? I thought this forum was for help and advice..
Why even make this comment?
I found it funny that you ignored all comments except the "here you go, dont lift a finger" ones. Heck, you asked if the site you were directed to had wheel and tire packages, rather than calling or emailing them to find out for yourself. Guess I lack tolerence for those that dont help themselves. Sorry for being a dick. Hopefully someone here will pick out your tires and mount the package on your car for you too. Good luck sir!

I find this thread offensive. If you'll excuse me, I'm off to go watch Borat... and then The Dictator.

Yeah, the SN95 and up offset wheels do tuck up nicely on the front. And its about the only way to run a wider rear setup if you still have a Fox length rear end. My 18x9 fronts are inside the front lip. And it honestly feels like I have a better turning radius with the larger rim. I haven't rubbed yet when turning.
You know you want white wheels too
I did always like those wheels on the Saleen. Thinking back, I cannot recall ever seeing them on a Fox (that wasn't trashed) other than on the Saleen.
I guess what I'm saying is that I'm curious.
With any luck, we'll see pics of it when they're on.
Honestly I only liked pony wheels in white but I'm contemplating dipping my fr500s white. If it tickles my fancy I may powder coat them.
