for christs sakes....please go with a rim other then the cobra r.
so many OTHER wheel choices to be had...its gotten to the point where although a cobra r is a good looking wheel,i see them so much,i cannot STAND them.

im running 17x9 cobra r's all around with 245/45/R17 tires. Like stated it rubs a little up front when the wheel is fully turned.

RE: 17x9 up front?
Don't know much about the Fox body as far as wheels, but I have 18 x 9s on my 94. Does not rub at all in turns. Had to flair the inside of my rear wheel wells running 275.45.18 Goodyear runflats. Going to change them to 10s and run 305 or 315 in future and go back to 17s when I start my suspention work.

RE: 17x9 up front?
yea i run 18x9 in the front and have no problem rubbing in turns. the only time i get a rub is if im turning and hitting a bump at the same time it will rub my inner wheel well. in back i run 18 by 10.5 and have no trouble there either. those rims are my ADR's but thats when im not running my prostars with slicks

RE: 17x9 up front?
I don't know about you guys,but I like my steering angle. My 17x9s rubbed up front and on the control arms, but once I get new wheels once the five lug is done, it'll be back to 17x8s in the front and 9 in the rear, possibly 10.5. I ran the same size tire, a 245/45R17 on my 9s as my 8s Rs.

I got a set of 17x9's for cheap too all mounted and balanced although they rub up a little on the front like everyone else is saying it is completely worth it, it made my 91 lx 'vert with thosecrappy old pony rimsgo from looking like an older mustang to the real deal.

i dont really care that everyone else runs them i think they look great personally i love the bullits on a fox but i have my money put elsewhere now and not into a 5 lug kit and 5 lug rims..so for 450$ i think ill do the 17x9 cobras front and back
