looking at new rims...question?
I have the stock 16" pony wheels right now. I have always liked the bullet rims but I would have to do a 5 lug conversion for those. I like the cobra R wheels too but it seems most people have those, so I have been searching for different options. Will these rims fit the fox body?
the pictures show 5 lug but the company will be getting them in 4 lug in the next few weeks.
17x9 in front
17x10.5 in back, deep dish in back
Let me know if the 17x10.5 will fit in the back without any problems and also let me know oppinions. I think they will look good and match pretty well because I am going to keep the two tone factory paint the Emerald Green w/ Titanium. Do you guys think the grey will match the lower part titanium of the GT?

RE: looking at new rims...question?
problem with the 03 wheels is that they are 5 lug. I don't see the point in changing to 5 lug if I can find rims that will work in a 4 lug. I love the anniversary wheels. I like how the cobra R's I posted are not the typical just one solid color. I like how they have the polished lip on the. Makes it stand apart a little more. I am just worried that the 10.5 will be too tight for the back

I believe the 10.5 is going to rub on your quad shocks or the inner part of your fender. Your best bet would be to go with 17x9 all the way around. What company did you find these at. If they are getting them in 4 lug that would be great. Those are some nice lookin rims.
