friend of mine just put some 18x10 on the rear of his fox vert. I am out of town on business though. I'll see if he can provide some pics and I will upload.

Is there a particular angle of shot you are looking for?

Lee and I did a lot research on different combos to make a 10 inch wide wheel work. If you keep the drums if you are doing a conversion a lot more variations are available. If you are keeping the 4 lug, I would recommend rolling the fenders and playing the numbers game for a 10.5 for the tire sizes, depending on what kind of drop you are planning.

I have the EIBACH pro kit. I already have the wheels (17x10.5) I've looked at several cars that are running the and it seems they are not having any problems. Mine on the other hand looka like they may stick out to far and it will be to close on the back. With no tire the wheel is maybe 1/4" to 3/8" away from the spring. I have drum setup on this car. The 18 look good on there did you have any issues getting yours on like rolling fender lip, beating inner fender etc.... also thanks for the pics. Lee any pics would be great doesn't matter what angle. Also I plan on running a 285/40 with these

I am running an offset for the 99 - 04 rear which is a 24mm I believe. Big difference in why some may stick out. No sir, no issues with this offset, while it was on the lift at Jacksonville muffler I believe I could run a 295 with no problems, I have 265 35 18's rear now. Yes fenders are rolled I like the rear end of the car sitting down. That was my main concern wit running the fr500 was getting the back end to drop with the right spacing was hard to find for me.

We've got 17X10.5's on my wife's "newest" ride, 93 Summer Edition Vert, 295's I believe....I'll have to check in the light tomorrow, it sits up a bit high for me, but that can be addressed.
