Default Quick question?

so right now i have an 88 lx 4 lug with 15" rims on it...im curious as to if i could run 16x10 on there and get away with it after i do a 5 lug conversion on it, would this make the tires rub the body?

You will have a LOT of trouble running a 10" wheel on a Fox Body. A 9" is about the best you are gonna do without some pretty serious wheel well work.

Head over to Tire Rack and Treadepot for some tire/wheel answers and are site sponsors, so would be good to give them a chance for a sale.

American Muscle '79~'93 wheels section will also have good info on LOTS of different wheels that will fit your ride along with off-set / back-space measurements and tire size recommendations.

As for the tire/wheel clearances, they wont change. Only the off-set is likely to differ, but cannot say for sure
