I'm trying to find some 4 lug wheels for a project road racing fox but the widest wheel that i can find is only 8in wide. I'd like to run at least a 275 in the back but would rather go wider. Thanks for any input

4 lug? What brakes do you have on there? The stockers won't last more than a few laps at BEST (and I mean that with all my heart). I see a 5lug conversion in your future. Get some Cobra Rs (R58s) and slap on some Hoosiers and you're in business.

i'm trying to stray from the 5 lug conversion saying its $1500. I was looking for brakes a good part of tonight and just seeing 5 lug stuff. Is there any good upgrade to work with the 4 lug set up? Also any wide 4 lug rims?

Just my opinion, but if you are serious about road racing, don't buy anything for 4 lug. Just save up and buy the 5 lug stuff now. You will end up spending twice as much, because you will quickly realize anything 4 lug that is not custom made, (i.e. Baer 4 lug stuff), will not be up to par on a road corase. 5 Lug = more brake and wheel choices. I converted to 5 lug and did not spend any where near $1500. I have what is comparable to a Cobra M-2300-K brake system, and I have about $800 in mine. Go with SN95 fronts, and you could save big.
