Ya know the funny thing is now that i'm getting used to seeing 19s and 20s on the '05+ cars, 18s on a Fox don't look too out of place. Personally i like to have some meat on my tires though so 17s are the limit for me....to be honest i love a deep dish 16'' with some fat tires on'em, but they've gotta have a good dish to them (Ponys just don't have the effect i'm talking about).
I will be running 18x9/10 Bullitts on my 89. I have Saleen springs, and it puts the top of a 245/45/17 tire maybe a 1/2"-3/4" from the fender (front). The 245/45/17s rub on the wiring I have hidden in the fender, and Im sure the 18s are going to be worse.
If your car is 91+ you shouldn't rub too much. If it's 79-90 I don't see how in the world they would fit... I know a couple of guys on this thread have done it but they HAVE to rub.
I'd definately stick with 18x8 up front. That will decreas rubbing. I need to switch to 17x8 from 17x9 on the front of mine
PS: No matter what they are as mentioned they will always rub on the well closest to the driver. Where the brake line and everything is.
Its a 91. The rims i bought are 18x8's all the way around, im just trying to decide on tire size for them. id rather have them a little smaller to decrease the rubbing issue.
Mine's an '89 and doesn't rub at all with the 235/40/18 on 18x8 with 25mm offset. It rubbed like crazy with a 245/45/17 on 17x9 with 24mm offset.
The back should clear, but you may need to flip the quads. I did, but I'm running a 275/35 on 18x9..
Good Luck!
