1) majority run 18s, 19s on a fox are pretty damn rare since its not a popular size in general and is pushing the limit on a fox.
2) TF on a fox is like 1% out there.

combined the 2, this is gonna be a tough one to fulfill.

Your sizes are off bro you definitely don't want those unless you plan on just parking it and having it look pretty. 9.5" wide up front is like a 4 point u-turn. Lol

You can run 9.5" up front on a fox, but it's really pushing the limits. You rub at full lock every time, but this has happened to me with every wheel wider than 8".

For 19s you'll need to run super low profile tires. Keeping the front tires with an overall tire height of 25" is key. For the rear 25.5" overall height is good. These specs are good for foxes lowered 1.5-2" all around.

Here's 18x9.5 +22mm offset up front with 255/35/18. The rear is 18x10.5 +22mm offset with 275/35/18

This is 17x10 +24mm offset with 315/35/17, rubs like a mofo.

It would be real tough fitting 11" wide wheels in the back.

I think 19's on a fox is a hair too big but if u wanted to, it could be done. I have 10" wide wheels up front and I used rub like crazy when turning. Tubular control arms are 200-300 bucks and fixes that just fine.
