Wanting to put some 17 or 18 inch wheels on the fox, but I dont know how wide of a wheel I can put on it. I would like to go with a 10 in the rear. I have a SN95 5 lug conversion in front and rear.

With the right wheel fitment you can get 10" under the fender however you will still need to roll the fender lip. With that said you need to have a really need a good wheel fitment specialist there to help you.

Some say use a bat on the tire and roll the wheel around so it presses the lip up. the right way is to you a tool that most wheel shops have. It bolts to the hub and it has a roller that will press the lip up.

With a good lower control arm replacement like Megabite Jrs you will be able to remove the quad shocks and gain a little bit of clearance for a wide rear tire also.
