not without alot of body modification, and you won't be happy with 18's, too much rotating mass.

i was reading in another forum about someone fitting big slicks on the back of a fox without tubing and one of the solutions were tubular rear suspension pieces because it give a lil more clearance than the bulky stock ones

I just bought a set of 17" x 10" wheels that a guy tried to fit on his fox after doing a 5 lug conversion and said they didn't fit. His loss was my gain as I got new wheels and tires(still has the nubs on them) for 750......
