Hi Guys,
So I am converting to 5 lugs and I am hesitating which wheels should I pick for my fox. I like both Cobra 03/04 and FR500 … My fox pic is attached.. what do you think??

If your going for what everyone sports, I would say FR500s. Personally I would go for something different than what everyone else does.

If I get all of the 4 wheels in 17X9 , can I run on 275/40/17 front and 315/35/17 rear ?

Opposedodie · Nov 23, 2011

I used 245 45/17's on the front 40s to big.... I used 275/40 17 on the back

I went with the same ones....but in chrome.

Get nothing but compliments on them.

Definitely the cobras for your car. Good luck.

MaRu_GT · Nov 24, 2011

On that car's color... which wheels look great; silver ? Chrome?

ZWilson07 · Nov 24, 2011

Id def go with chrome cobras, but its up to you.

Also id def do 9 inch wide up front, and atleast 10 if not 10.5 width in the rears. 9 inch wide wheel in the back to me just doesn't look as nice but to each their own.

Both come with 10.5 option.. there is no 10.. I think i will need spacer for the fox but I am not sure what size

oh ok just making sure. and depending on how big you go with the rear tire, you shouldn't need to run a spacer but thats obviously going to depend on the big of a tire, if the fender is rolled, etc etc.

Well, most likely I am going with 275/40/17 rear..

03' Cobra wheels are just ugly.....on any car......even an 03' Cobra. I say FR500s hands down. 315s on 17" rims are going to look goofy. Especially if you have a narrower tire up front.

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.
