Hey Wondering if anyone would oblige me with some pics of foxes with some 18" FR500s.

Looking to put a set on my GT hatch when I do my five lug.

No Good

They won't fit! I ordered a set for my 89 after the 5-lug conversion. The wheel hits the finder lip. GOOD LUCK

I will politely disagree...

I'm running 18x9's up front with a 255 tire, and 18x10's in the rear with a 285 tire.

I also didn't read that you wanted it on fox mustangs so I posted a pic that isn't any good to you.

False. They probably didn't fit because 91+ cars have a larger wheel opening in the front fenders and you have an 89. Either that, or something else is seriously wrong because a TON of guys run 18s.
