9" wide rims measure 10" wide total out-out. 9" measures from inside bead to inside bead.
9" wide rims measure 10" wide total out-out. 9" measures from inside bead to inside bead.I took a quick measurement and looks like my rims are 10". Guess I'm in the market for wheels and tires now since I don't think putting bigger tires on my 10" wheels will look right on a fox. They will stick out too far. Now I need to find the ideal wheel/tire combo with a fox lowered 2". I would like to stay with 18s vs. going to 17s.
I always though my tires looked odd and I guess they guy would owned it before me didn't do any sort of research

Have you checked out http://wheelreplicas.comThanks. I measured the outside so 9" sounds right. I'm going to check the measurements on a different brand of tire.
My rim options are limited with 4 lug. I don't even see the same wheel I currently have on line anywhere.

I guess first question is what are the wheel dimensions? If you take a wheel off, it's usually stamped with the dimensions in the back of a spoke. 18x8 or 18x9 or even 10"
That will make a huge difference in tire selection
18x8 up front with a 235/40 tire is perfect for a street car. No rubbing and comfy ride IMO
There is only a couple different 4 lug 18" wheels on the wheelreplica's site (saleen SC wheels is one of them). I think ROH makes one too. There is a lot more options once you go 5 lug but that's money to do that. Trust me the benefits of converting to 5 lug is worth every penny. I'll do some looking around to see what I find in the 18" range in 4 lug.have you seen any 4 lug 18" wheels anywhere? Didn't seem to be very easy to find.

Anytime you shorten the tire sidewall as a result of going to a larger wheel diameter, the ride quality decreases as a by product.Seems like no one is recommending going to 17s

Is that an option?
Any future interest in 5lug and upgraded brakes?
You should have room to fit a 245 width tire up front. Heck, when I ran my 17x9 03' Cobra reps I had a 255/40 Nitto tire up front with minimal rubbing up front. Only time it rubbed was in reverse and steering wheel at full turn. You need to look in to a tires section width and tread width when deciding on size. My BFG Sport Comp 2's run wider than others. So basically my BFG 235 tire up front is nearly as wide as a Nitto 245 tire. I would jack your car up in the front with the jack under the control arm to compress the suspension while lifting the car up and look at the rim/tire clearance in relation to the strut.Yes, going to 17" was option #2 on my list of 3 options. I probably won't upgrade to 5 lug in the near future. Have a few other things I'd like to do first.

What size tire do you have on rear wheels?
