Can some one post a pic of maybe a black lx hatch with Chrome Cobra R's 17x9. Also what tires should i get for these wheels? I was thinking 245-50-17 for the front? and 275-55-17 for the back. Will these fit? will i have any rubbing issues?

Thanks Black 93 Fox

Sorry, I don't have a pic but I know a guy which had a black hatch LX with 17x9 Chrome Cobra R's on it. I have silver ones. I run 255/40R17 on the front and 275/40R17 in the back. The guy with the chrome one's is parting his car out. I don't know what he wants for the wheels though.

How's your clearance up front? I've got 245/45R17s up front, and they rub the front of the fender skirt just a tiny bit if I turn the steering wheel more than 3/4 turn. I should've got 245/40s or 255/40s.

I picked these up from discount tire..They were $250 each for wheels. I have heard of people running 255's up front. Myself wouldnt want to run over a 245 in front with a 275 in rear...
