Im looking at getting new wheels but have a few questions. First off im looking at some 17 x 9 / 10.5" Black Mustang Bullitt Deep Dish wheels with the polished lip. Will 17 x 10.5" fit on an 89 fox thats lowered 1.5" and if so what tire sizes front and rear should i run? Thanks for all the help

AdderMk2

the 10.5's will not fit without extensive modifications... stick to the 17x9's and youll be fine

245/45/17 front and 275/40/17 rear

What kind of extensive modifications? What other whells would still have the deep dish style but in 17x9?

AdderMk2

you will have to remove your quad shocks, roll your fenders, and hammer in your inner wheel wells.. along with running a spacer to get the wheels to fit without rubbing... Just get the 17x9 Bullit's with the polished lip.. they will look great

Are there any other wheels that would fit with the deep dish?

dont be so sure about that.... i was gonna get the 17x10.5 i think it was, rear bullits for my car and i did alot of research. There are about 5 people on corral that only had to remove the quad shock and use the right 5 lug conversion

no way in hell unless they have huge *** spacers = stupid looking and the wrong way ot do it

believe me i looked into it and talked to several people it isn't worth it i just got the 17x9's and they barely fit

AdderMk2

no, its possible without spacers. but you would have to use an SN-95 or newer rear end, or its components. the SN-95 was about 1.5" wider in the rear than the foxes, and the new edge was ever wider.

so 91lxstang... wanna be a smartass... go ahead. But it will still cost considerably more money than just using what fits in the first place... not to mention, foxes look stupid with 17x10.5 wheels... especially with SN-95+ rear ends which just makes the rear look evem more Rican-ed out

These are HRE's with a little bit of a lip

Well thanks for all your help. Now im leaning towards some black 17x9 Cobra R's with the polished lip or some crome Saleens.
