Fox with 17x8 and 17x10

Looking at getting some of these sc wheels...

http://www.wheelreplicas.com/scwheels.html

Was going to run a 235/45/17 frt and either 285/40/17 or 315/35/17 rear. Anyone running these sizes and can you post a pic of the rear? How do they fit? I am concerned how far the wheel and tire will stick out of the wheel well. I have an 89 lx hatch. Thanks

This pic is of 17x8s in front and 17x9s rear.

....Not sure the 17x10's will work without a wheel spacer....I ran the '95 Cobra R's (17x9) on my lowered 1991 GT...

I believe you need to tub it to get those to fit. o.O

^ Correct

You are not going to get a 10" wheel to run on a fox without doing some serious hammering under the rear fender. I am not even sure THAT would be enough, but maybe if you ran a 265 or something.

I want to put in mini tubs but also want to keep it looking nice in the rear. Would mini tubs still fit under the rear interior panels? O.o

Here are a couple articles on this..

Pepe them and see what you think.

17x9/10 set up. This forum member had to remove the rear quad shocks.

Sweet, my guess is 275's out back?

Much work to make them fit?
