17x10 on the back of a fox???
I really want the stern reps that Wheel Replicas has out. Will a 17x10 fit the back of a fox gt vert? What size tire? 275 or a 285? Thanks
Dave

Probably not without mini-tubing it.

Yep, a 17x9" wheel fits great... but a 17x10" would be pushing it.

17x10's will work but you will have to remove the quad shocks. This would require the purchase of some aftermarket upper and lower control arms.
I do not recall the correct backspacing though. EDIT... A 10" wheel would more than likely require at least 285 wide tire

It would also require a BFH for the inner fender and likely a removal of the tail pipes.

This car has 10" wheels on back and disc brakes I believe..
I noticed the tail pipes are missing though

Hmmm, I really want as much lip as possible, I have always been big on staggered wheels. I planned on doing some dumps under the car. I'll have to think long and hard on this one. May have to end up going 17x9 in the end.

A 10" wheel will fit on a fox and you can even keep the quad shocks...however it is all in the backspacing.
They make 10-10.5" bullitt and fr500 wheels with the specific backspacing for a Fox.You can run a 275 tire on them as well

I have almost convinced myself not to go deep dish in the back. I keep looking at the original Saleen cars with the stern wheels and for some reason I like the wheels better with a smaller lip. It's like the deep dish takes away from the classic look or something. I can't explain it. Like it takes away from how flat and broad the wheels look. So I guess I may go ahead and do x9's all around. Gonna order next week.
