Something as close to them as possible, only in 17 inch. I want the wheel wells filled out more. I'm tempted to just look into slightly taller tires, especially for the front. I think the front is way too low profile. I like the back but i think they're too wide to run in the front.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

Thanks. I do hate the way the front sits that high but its more drag car than street car has drag shocks in the front. Like the 5 and 4 lug set up?

Yeah, I noticed that it looked as though the tire sizes were 'non-standard'.
The car looks great, but I did notice the tire profiles.

They look great, but to be honest, there is an ongoing thread on this site, and others, with page after page of Foxes with those rims.
There are a lot... That being said, I want a set on mine, even if they aren't unique. I just wish they made them in 18". That is the only thing that bothers me about them.

Not everyone feels the need to upgrade brakes or convert to 5 lug. The car has made it this long, the brakes must work...

Yea the brakes work, but I dont think anyone would deny that the 5-lug brake upgrade options are greater than 4 lug brake options, but I guess if you're not making much more then the stock 220hp then you shouldn't feel the need to upgrade the brakes. But the point really is that it's funny someone would be willing to spend $2,000 on a set of wheels but doesn't want to spend a couple hundred bucks on the brakes that they work on.
