What size wheel 17 or 18??

suzuki827 · October 12th, 2008, 05:34 PM

Now that i've decided on the bullit wheels in black what size do you think? 17x10.5 or 18x10?

Black02GT · October 12th, 2008, 05:35 PM

17

93hatch · October 12th, 2008, 05:43 PM

18s on a fox look weird

JoshC! · October 12th, 2008, 05:47 PM

id go 17s. imo they look better on foxs and they are cheaper. tires are also cheaper.

suzuki827 · October 12th, 2008, 05:58 PM

So you guy so far think 17's. So maybe 17x10.5's with 315/35-17 in the rear and 17x8's with 245/45-17 in the front?

JoshC! · October 12th, 2008, 06:01 PM

with that wide of a tire in the back its gonna rub if you dont do some work to the inside of the fender well.

suzuki827 · October 12th, 2008, 06:04 PM

Quad shocks are removed, inner wheel well have already been massaged and I rolled the fender lips before they painted the car. Does a 315 look good on the back of a fox?

JoshC! · October 12th, 2008, 06:07 PM

i stole someone elses pics but here ya go

suzuki827 · October 12th, 2008, 08:14 PM

315's look awsome on there

stangfreak · October 12th, 2008, 08:21 PM

1989Gt. · October 12th, 2008, 10:06 PM

thats a good point. my dunlop 275s are a little smaller than my pirelli 275s. not that big of a difference but its noticable.

My First Ride · October 13th, 2008, 03:08 AM
