Default Re: 17" 9/10" rims

The 9" wheel will fit front and rear. With a 10" rim you will need to be extremely choosey in your wheel selection (backspacing is very important). Not many will fit. You also need to consider massaging the inner wheel lip if it hasn't been done. I currently have the 5.95 backspacing Cobra R rim with a stock width axle, and I have just enough clearance at ride height between the rear shock and wheel lip (rolled). I have no rubbing issue but no obvious additional room to play. The wider wheel will push out the tire wall a little more than the same tire on a 9". I know Kenny Brown used to run a 10" rim in the back of the FOX platform. I'll have to look through some of my old paperwork for an old catalog of theirs - I think I may have trashed it though.
