17x10.5's on the rear of a fox

dmarstroker · May 25th, 2008, 07:47 PM

Well just last weekend I finished installing a 5 lug conversion/brake upgrade with 13 inch rotors. stainless braided hoses, and dual piston calipers. I went with 17x8 wheels up front with a 235/40/17 tire. The front suspension consists of sportlines springs with the lower isolater removed, steeda X2 ball joints, 96+ spindle, bump steer kit, strange adjustable struts. The rears I went with 17x10.5's with a nitto 315 DR which runs narrower than most tire brands out and is more like a 295 size. I did use a 3/8 inch spacer so the tires could be flush with the fenders. And yes I did beat in the inner fenders with a BFH, rolled the fenders, axles are stock fox length. Here are some pics, tell me what you think...

in the picture of the side view. whats wrong with your door frame that goes around the window. it looks really wierd

dmarstroker · May 25th, 2008, 10:51 PM

Thanks for the comments guys. The front bumper is an lx with a saleen front air dam. And about the door frame thing, the paint is chipping off. Its a work in progress I also have a cervinis 2 1/2 inch cowl hood, cobra side skirts, and a stalker front bumper awaiting to be painted

Yes those look great. 5.0 magazine did a write up on that 2 issues ago with the pony r's.

**Chris** · May 25th, 2008, 11:56 PM

The stance looks great, and BFH's kick ass...lol

Good looking car, even though flat black is the ugliest look ever for a fox body...

Sarcasm - see my sig.

Yea them BFH's can work wonders, haha. The flat black looks alright on my stang because I didnt do a good job of trying to make it look good. By the looks of your sig I think yours looks PERFECT with that color

Looks SWEET. Where did you get the silver 03 cobra wheels? Difficult to come across those new.

83fox · May 26th, 2008, 03:04 PM

looks real good man

the tire to shock clearance looks tighter than a ticks ass

hotrodseth · May 26th, 2008, 03:21 PM
