Can anyone tell me if a 18x9 w/24mm offset and 18x10 w/22mm offset will fit under my 90 LX? And if so am I going to have make any adjustments to the car, like masaging the fender wells and removing the quads? Also does anyone know what backspacing I might need, any info is helpful. thanks!!!

I say, you want to keep the combo you listed. 22mm offset means that the wheel will sit further out...(closer to quarter lip). Say you get a 17x10.5 with a 27mm offset. That means the wheel will sit inward (closer to the frame rail) 5mm more. BUT, what you have to watch out for is the amount of back spacing the 18X10 wheels have with the 22mm offset vs. a 17X10.5 with a 27mm offset.

Honestly....go to www.corral.net There is a wheel and tire thread, that has at least 10 pages or more of FR500's on a fox. Lots of GREAT info on that one.
