First issue is going to be the 5 lug pattern. Unless you have done some later model up grades, they wont fit.

Head over to TomZwheels (site down now, so no links) American Muscle (below) and see many sizes and styles:


You will also find some customer pics.

There may be some fine print to read as well. You will VERY likely need to remove your rear quad-shocks (or rotate them for sure) for clearance running a 9" wheel. The 8" wheels will be fine all around with quads as I did so my self for many a year on OZ racing:

I would like to see what they recommend to squeeze a set of those 10.5"s on the back of a Fox.

I don't see them fitting without removing quads, rolling fenders and doing some pretty serious tub work under there. Would be really sweet to see a Fox on 10.5"s though

...I'm not sure that a 10.5" wheel would fit on a Fox without a wheel spacer or some kind of mini-tub setup!
