I'm not sure if you will be free of wheel/tire/clearance problems with 17x8s on a fox stang. I do know you shouldn't have problems if you run 16x9s in the rear and 16x8s in the front (or 16x8s all around). Consider this. Don't just go for the biggest rim possible. I think 16s would look more appropriate, too. There is that line that you have to be careful of crossing. And 17s seem a bit overdone. Sorry I can't be of more help. I'm sure others will have diff opinions. This is mine.
