I've called every supplier/vendor and get a different answer from each one.
I'm converting my '92 LX to a 5-lug wheel with 4-wheel disc brakes and want new wheels also. It seems that any wheel available in a 17" [i especially like the 10th anniversary wheel] is 9" wide.
Nobody seems to know what backspacing to use or even if a 9" will fit on a Fox Mustang 5-lug conversion. i know i see lots of them around so can somebody please tell me what wheel will fit so i can finish the car?
Thanks

What front spindles are you using? Also, are you running stock length axles out back? Just about any OEM cobra wheel will fit with any spindle/axle combo. Running 96+ spindles and sn95 length axles will just make the wheels stick out slightly more compared to fox axles and 94-95 spindles.


Also, you may have some slight rubbing issues up front when turning full lock. Having the larger wheel openings on your 92 helps though.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

Avoid 10.5 in the back.

A 10.5 is the widest you can go on a fox body but you have to roll the fender lips. Anything bigger than that you will have to mini tub. I have 17x10.5 FR500's in the rear and 17x9 FR500's up front. No problems!
