i want to get some FR500's, first thing dose anyone know who makes them in 18x10.5? second do i need that size to fit 315's on them (for the rear)? and third do i need to do any modifications to the body to fit them in there? i want to get nitto 555's for tires if that helps at all.
 
pretty much. the 17s come in 10.5. the 18s are 10s. you will have to massage the inner fender with a BFH. you should roll the outer fender lips. i havnt rolled mine in a year, but that will be happening next week. i did damage the tires when i was moving back from college due to the excess weight and an expansion joint on the interstate. tires hold air fine, but it did put a slit in the sidewall.

running a 315 will be doubtful. unless your willing to minitub the car, and possibly narrow the rear end a half inch.

mine cleared my tailpipes just fine, but then i cut them off a few months later anyway.

im running a 275/35, but will be stepping up to a 275/40.
 
nice, a buddy of mine is running 03/04 cobra wheels on his fox and he has 315's but he said they are more like 305's i dont really understand that but w/e. he had to roll his fenders and his axle was offset and he had to use a spacer. i dont trust those things and i dont know if the exhaust will be an isssue might be one but ill find out. thanks for the help
