Bad Wheels

JohnnyG · 03-07-2002, 03:34 PM

I want some opinions on the what is the best looking 17 or 18" wheel for a fox-body that comes in a 9 or 9.5" width.

Right now I'm leaning towards the Steeda Five-Spoke, RacingHart m5's, and the boyd coddington timeless 5-spoke.

Any other opinions?

Have you looked into ROH wheels? I've seen some pretty nice ones from them.

BTW, you do know that you are gonna have some real clearance problems on a fox-body stang with wheels as big as the ones you are talking about (18,17x9.5s). 16x9s are the biggest I would suggest.

17x9.5 yes you'll have some clearence problems. 17x8s in the front and max 17x9 in the rear.

I'm partial to the new GT torque-thrust style wheels, i think those are 17x8 and also the chrome versions of those looks pretty nice as well.....other than that i don't know a whole lot about what there is out there.
