I'm looking for new rims for my car and want ones that you don't see on a lot of otherfox bodies. I really like the American Racing Rebels but don't know if they will fit or not. They are a 17X9, 24mm offset, and 5-114.3 bolt pattern. I'm pretty sure thats the right bolt pattern, and I know 17X9's won't be an issue, Its more the offset that I'm concerned about. Can anyone give some useful advice? Or even show some pictures of fox bodies with these rims? Thanks in advance.

I love these wheels and get TONS of compliments on them. I'm not shure on the back spacing or what not but they are 4 lug. peace

At time had 2 inch drop springs

17x9 245/40/17 front and 245/45/17 rear not sure of backspacing didnt realy care at the time i found black cobra r wheels

i use the smallest spacer i could find for the front of the car wheels were hitting control arm, now it hits the fender sometimes, but the right now i have 1 3/4 drop springs.
