17x10s in the rear....rub issue if lowered??

rocket · February 23rd, 2011, 09:05 PM

I like the look of 17x9/10 look but worried 10s in the rear will rub with my lowering kit. Anyone know if its a major issue without rolling the fender lip?

They will fit fine... I run 17x10.5 on my lowered Mach with the sportline springs. and for now 275/35/17 tires.. I will be running 315's

They will not fit fine. Fox and SN are two different vehicles

x2

Fender roll and you'll have to bang the shit out of your inner fender well to get the clearance needed.

Plus you wanna watch clearance with your catback tailpipes and control arms. On a previous fox I had a fr500's with a 10.5 rim in the back and it was soo close to touching the control arms I didn't like it.. but ended up selling the car

they only make those if 5 lug. but if you have 5 lugs in the rear I suggest getting 1.5 inch wheel spacers. you still have to roll the inner fender. The spacers will solve your control arm and tailpipe clearance I don't know about the fenders thought

315/35-17 will fit 10s

Well I dont really wanna bang the inner fender or roll the fender, so I better stick with 17x9s all the way around. Those shouldnt have any problems right???

and those 315x35x17, they fit without modifing anything?? Seems the concensus is that it will not work with 10s!

If you ran a spacer that big with 17x10s on a fox it'll push the wheel outside the fender. They also make 17x10s in 4 lug.

If you run a 17x9 throw a 275/45 on there and call it a day. Might have to remove the quad shocks though.

I currently have fr500 wheels that are 9" wide with 315's on them... but they are getting 275's because the 315's contact my tailpipes

Correct but even with 275's removal of the quads are mandatory and I had to bang in the wheel well some to fit them but no fenders rolled.
