correct backspacing for a fox?
im looking to purchase a set of american racing torqlite wheels for my 91. specs are front 17x7 with 4" bs and rears are 17x8 with 4.5" bs. can anyone tell me if that would be correct bs for a fox?
17"x9" wheels at American Muscle with a 5.8" back-space.
17"x8" wheels at American Muscle with a 5.2" back-space.
16"x7" wheels at American Muscle with a 4.8" back-space.

Sorry, maybe wasn't too clear, but BA is correct 
All the wheels I listed were for a Fox Body Stang, and have a larger back-space than the ones you listed. Since you can put a 9" wheel I listed on your ride, you can easily run the 7"s & 8"s.

I see them as a bit outward toward the fender, but certainly not beyond.
Head over to ***THIS*** site and will help with some of this info. I also suggest you remove one of your current wheels and measure back-space. You will be able to use the dimensions of your existing wheels to do the math on how NEW wheels will fit your ride. This is not difficult, just takes a little time.
