Im still 500 miles away from my car, Ill have it down here in about a week, but I had my father take my car to get the wheels and tires installed. I went with 17X10 Pony R's in the rear and 17X8 up front. The tires are Nitto 285/40/17 in the rear and 245/45/17 up front...Theyre rubbing real bad on the quad shocks. I assumed I didnt have any quad shocks because I was running a 275/50/15 on it before, but Ill just have to flip or remove them

Anyways here's some crappy cell phone pics to give you an idea...

Excellent +1. Pony's just look correct on a FOX.

Very sharp. Nothing sets a dark paint job off like a set of nice chrome wheels.

Relax Mike. The wheels on your car do it MUCH more justice than the Pony R's did. No questions about that. They didn't work with your retro theme.

Man you're lucky to have me...

I,....I,...I don't know exactly what to say. You'd consider doing all that for me? This IS the greatest country in the world.

And you're right Allen,....It's people like you, that make temporary bouts of insanity on my part nothing to be ashamed of after all.
I'm proud to call you a true friend.
