damn ! thanks for bringing me back some memories !! funny how in the movie he said their daytons - but they are actually McClean's (sp) .....
but my 2 cents are 18's the biggest - just looks like they belong on foxbody's - for anything newer i would go with 20's

20s on a fox is about as big as i'd go.

17's on a fox with 295's in the back, 18's on a S197 with 315's in the back

05-09=20's look best, but 18's & 19's look good too. 17's look too small IMO....

18x9 is the biggest I'd go on a fox . My drop sits really low and the 18s look perfect imo

15x4's and 15x10's !

Interesting to see all of the diffrent choices!! You all have a good point for your choice. But marv with the 13 wire wheels & the Boys in the Hood Pic is way too much!! That was hella funny!! If you want to go fast you have to stay Under 18" but for style points 20" or 22" Look real nice!!

I like 18's myself

My motto is "24 for sho". But a good set of 32"s on any mustang looks good with a 42" plasma in the rear and spinners looks pretty hot. I can't wait til they come out with bigger wheels....like 38"s or something. I guess we'll all have to be patient

my 07 is on 20s but i think id do the 22s out back and keep the 20s up from. 20s minimum on the s197, anything else looks too small

but on all other body styles 18s max

Love those BBS wheels.. especially on 03 Cobra's

I like 17x9's on a Fox. They fit good and give you lots of options for tire sizes.

17x8's will limit what tire size you can run.

fox - 17s for comfort & 18s for pimp

sn95 - 18s

s197 - 20s

whatever size you go with, just get FAT wide rear tires to finish the look.

335s ftw. i haven't seen another one like it.

X 3

16's will look good on a fox in only 1 or 2 cases - CLEAN ASS chrome ponies or ROH Snypers (lol, what i run)

I think it really depends on the car.

My current GT 15's all the way...



18's on my old 96 GT



17's on my old Notch
