Who's got 18's on a Foxbody?????

[xporter]

Just wondering what size tires your running and what wheels? Post pics if you have em..

 

[GreatWhite]

usually can't go bigger than 245 in front or 275 out back w/o modifications

18s would look a little large on a fox mustang. Especially since the fenders are reletively small. 17s make the car look good, without calling attention strictly to the rims.

Here are 18's on a Fox, just the right size IMO. They are the OE Cobra R Y2K's with 255/35's all the way around. The back has no clearance problems (I don't have quad shocks though), the front will rub the inner fender wall only if I turn lock to lock, but only slightly, so not a problem for me. The car is a 92 which I think has larger wheel wells than the pre 91 fox's (not sure on this one though).

Fenders did not change from 87-93. In fact, I think even the early 80s fenders are the same size, not sure though.

I think 18's look killer on a fox. I only have 16's. Prime.

(go ahead and laugh. THEY'RE 15 YEARS OLD! LOL)

Would LOOOOOVE to get my hands on some 18' Cobra rims.

Year by year info. For 1991:

"To complement the new 16 inch wheel, P225/55ZR Goodyear uni-directional Gatorbacks were standard with P225/55ZR16 all-season performance tires becoming an option. In addition, different front fenders were installed to accomodate the bigger wheel/tire combo."

91-93 GTs and LX 5.0s had larger fender wells.

maybe not the general shape but size did change. do a search and you will find a lot of info on this

2000xp8 has 18s on his hatch, they look awesome. Search his name and find his pics.

Thanks for the replies. I just ordered some 18" Bullitts for my car. 18x9 in front and 18x10 for the rears. I think they will fill the wheel wells pretty good. Now I have to decide which tires I'm going to run...

Be prepared to roll the fender lips for the rear. Also hope you are running a stock width axle in the rear. Some threads that may help you:

Thanks, I already rolled the fenders when I lowered it and I've aquired a set of bullitt springs in case I need to lift the car back up a bit.
