18x9 and 18x10 on a fox
I want to fit some Deep dish 18x10 Fr-500's on my project alo 18x9 up front.
1. Will I have any issues up front with my tubular K-member
2. When I move over to five lug is there anything different I need than the typical 5 lug swap?
3. Whats the biggest tire on this rim without tubbing. I know someone posted some 315's???? on the back of their fox before.
4. What brand and series street drag tires
5. What back spacing?
Thanks in advance

RE: 18x9 and 18x10 on a fox
from what i've read on here, the general thought is that 18's look like crap on a Fox (unless you're going for that bling'd out hi-riser look). most people feel 17's are the best looking for the Fox, but to each his own. i like the 17's personally. also, the 10's on the rear won't fit w/o some work and the guy with the 315's i believe had a mini tub if i'm not mistaken. there are 3 or 4 different ways to do the 5 lug swap (each has their own goods and bads). i'd suggest just using the search button and reading. there are a lot of threads on this in here.

18's are good as long as they dont belong on pimp my ride, i prefer 17's but the tire size in the back (315) will require some masaging aka tubbing. You want 18x10's all around or 18x9's up front, i believe you will have some issues with turning with the 10's i have 17x9's and they turn just right, depends on springs too, 4 to 5 lug tech : http://www.stangnet.com/tech/lug.html

This is what I found on another forum I usually post on, They fitted 315 without tubbing with just rolling fenders
No I am using 18x9's up front.
I personally dont think 18's are too bling, I'm from a town where 24's on a foxbody is seen frequently
here a pics of my drop on 20's
