Default How do I get wires through the firewall?

I'm installing gauges today (hopefully), and was just wondering where the best is to thread the wires through the firewall. I found a large rubber grommet on the far left of the driver's side firewall, with a large wiring harness running through it. It's just that the grommet seems far too tight around the wires to get any more wires through. Any ideas?

In my car theres a large hole with a rubber grommet in it on the drivers side right above the pedals, donno bout a fox, might be the same.
EDIT: with no wires going through it.

Thanks, 95. I'll check there, but I have a feeling that it's different for foxes. Can anyone confirm or refute this?
