Deep Dish 17x10 or 18x10s on a LX.

[leroy93lx]

I would like to see a 10'' deep dish rim on a stock drum brake rearend. I am trying to see about where they sit on the outer wheel well. I think i decided on a set of wheels for the coupe finally and an 18x10 is the only option for the rear. So if anybody has any pics from multi angles post them up! I would appreciate it. If at all possible tire sizes , offsets and backspacing would help me alot too. Thanks Again

I have 18x10s but no drums, I run disc brakes out back. Probably would sit in the same position though, but I'm not sure.

25th did you go with a late model rearend or like a north race cars set up?

NRC set up with fox axles and SN-95 discs.

I might as well go ahead and do that. Do you have much clearance on the inner wheel well 25th? I want mine to be tucked inside the outer wheel lip as much as i can. Without the risk of cutting tires and creasing quarter panels that is!

I run without quads and have a decent amount of space. It is tight but other than hard turns or stuffing the tire because of articulation I have no issues with normal driving. Mine aren't tucked but I did roll the fenders just to be safe.

Sweet. Thanks for the info! Im going to run a slightly taller 265 40 18 drag radial on the rear, i hope like hell it will work! Luckily my local tire store will let me test fit everything when it gets mounted and balanced. Hopefully in a month or so i will get to pic whore 18'' Fooses tucked under the notch!

Thats going to be a narrow tire for a 10" rim. I run a 285/35/18 and fits good, but could stand to be slightly wider. You shouldn't have too much issue running it, the only concern I would personally have is the tire on the rim.

Also what rims, BSing and offset play a role as well.

Leroy, go to www.corral.net

They have a tire and wheel thread that is almost 100 pages long and over 3 years old. They have every kind of fox with every kind of wheel and rear end set up. That is where I have been looking and deciding on wheels. One guy has a 17x10.5 with a 275 or 315, can't remember. They are right to the edge, go check it out, it is sweet!
