Largest Bullit Rim on a Fox Body?

AdamantiumKnot · May 22, 2007

My friend has a 5.0 Fox body and he wants to do deepdish bullit rims, is this possible? he doesn't know if 17x10.5's will fit or not. I tried doing a search but didn't really come up with anything. I'm not familiar with fox bodies because i have a 98 gt.

Can anyone give size recommendations or any other suggestions for deep dish rims?

Thank you.

Guys have done 17x9, 17x10.5, 18x9 and 18x10

they key is proper rear brake setup with correct offset, and some of the wider wheels and tires may need the elimination of the tailpipes and some massaging of the inner fender.

^ what he said

i guess with as minimal modication as possible. don't think he's looking to roll the fenders or anything.

i'm pretty sure he's going to do the 5 lug conversion.

ditch the quad shocks

You will definitely need a stock fox track 5-lug offset. No SN95 offset brakes will work. If you want disks, you will need to purchase the north race cars brackets and use ranger axles.

After that, you can bolt the wheels on and see what needs to be modded. Most likely the quads may need to come off, some inner fender massaging and possibly removal of the tailpipes depending on how they are belt. Fender lips may need to be rolled too.

They will fit, but it won't be a direct bolt on and drive away

if he doesnt want to roll fenders, he may not want to consider doing it.

i had to roll my fenders and massage my inner fender to get my 18x10's to clear.

Mike and guys,

I don't recall if I showed you Clint's (modular93fox) new rear wheels. They are deep dish 17s he had cut down so he could run them with his Ranger length axles. Looks really good IMO. He had them cut down to 9.25, but he said 9.5 would work just fine. I don't know what he paid, but if you have the cash, it's worth it IMO!

Very interesting!!!

If only a company would make a Fox-specfic DD wheel like that. Make it with the lip of the 18x10 or 17x10.5, but cut down the total width to maybe 9.5" or so.

If a company did this, i think they would sell a ton

does anyone have suggestions for other deep dish wheels that will fit with little-to-no modification for fox bodies?

fox length moser axles, cobra brakes. I run 18x10 FR500 which has the same offset as the bullets. they fit real nice, with only rolling the fender lips.

I have seen a couple Companies that will add width to a wheel in the form of Backspace, I have considered geting some S197 Bullitts widened to go with my SN95 Width Rear.
