you cant put 20" wheels on a fox. that picture is a photochop, it isnt possible. So dont bother buying 20"s and attempting it.

but i heard summit is doing a buy one set of 20"s get lambo door hinges 50% off, so its worth a try

Oh man....you're not going to like the responses you're going to get asking to put 20's on a Fox body.

Anything over 18" looks goofy IMO.

Why waste your time with 20's? Throw in some lift springs, longer drive shaft, solid front axle and some paint matched 26's and you'll be good to go

Actually, 20's will fit no problem, as long as your car is not dumped. Lots of people run the 20" Cobra R wheels in the OP's pic. BUT,,,,, IMO they look like crap on fox bodies.

LOL... I actually took that pic on my way home from work a few years back. I laugh everytime I see it pop up on forums. You can see my canary yellow hood from my old 95 GT.

Word around town is that the car was blown & was actually quick at 1 time, but unfortunately the owner had bad taste. Its too bad because the body & paint actually looks pretty clean...

thats not true, i've seen plenty of fox's with 20's. you just definitely cant lower it. i do agree though, it looks dumb as hell.

20" wheels are too big on a fox body.

Yeah, 20's look good on the S197 cars, but not on the Fox's. I saw a newedge SN95 with some 20's once and it was real close to bein too big. 18's look HUGE on a Fox, save some money and check into those instead...you wont be dissapointed!
