yes, but why would you? too skinny, too small, and too tall. what wheels do you have? you can go up to 315s in the rear without rubbing.

I beleive the '98's came stock with the 16" waffle star and the 17" split 5-spoke was an upgrade. There was also a painted 17" wheel based on the 94-97 Cobra wheel..painted argent with a pony center cap.

The 16x7's came stock with 225/55/16's but a lot of guys with Foxes with the 16" pony wheels run 245/50/16's with no probs at all.

SO go for it.

I ran those on mine before I got the 17's.

ON tight turns they rub enough to rub the sidewall lettering off , on the front... not enough to actually damage anything though.

so in short it does work, and looks 1/2 decent too (well better then the 225/55R16)
