I was looking to put the 10th anaversery SVT rims on my Fox Body, will the 17x9 fit or will they be to wide and cause clearance issues?  And yes I know they are only avalable in five lug I'm gonna get the convertion this summer.

they will fit but you might have some minor rubbing on the fronts. it depends on how wide of a tire you go with. i have 17 x 9s with 245/45s and the fronts rub a little when i have the wheels turned all the way.

Thanks that is what I was hoping to hear, and that was the size of tire I was looking at getting on the wheels.

Does anyone know if the 18x9 FR500 wheel would be to big on a LX Foxbody once it is lowered?  what kind of clearance issues would I run into if any?  I've seen the rims on several different cars, a lot of GT and a few LXs.  I was just wondering if the inch taller wheel hight would make a big difference with finder clearances.
 

I could not find a good pic of a car with the 10 anv wheels on it but the FR500 are 18x9 and the cobra is 17x9 any opinions?
