Default 17x9's and lowering
does anyone have any pics of their fox lowered with 17x9 wheels? what size tires are you running and how much did you lower the car? are you having rubbing issues? sorry for all the questions but i am looking to lower mine very soon and dont want to go too low and rub like crazy.


thanks everyone
