I remember someone bringing this topic up last year. I was curious too. I've search google over and over and yet to find anything. I got new wheels on the coyote so thought this would be a good opportunity see how it looks.





There was no clearance issue. Only time I felt a rub was when I pulled into my driveway. I can actually turn the wheel all the way over and no rubbing.

The back looks kinda weak. It's weird seeing it go from a 295 to a 255. I'm not convinced on the look so what do you guys think. The previous look was chrome saleens. Just sharing the look. Don't think I'll stick with it....it's just something different

Did you have drags all they way around or something? Cus 16s should clear perfect even with a drop. That's stock size.


Update: tired rubbed on fender when attempting a u turn.

I think with a thinner profile it would look better

I'm not feeling this one. I'm not sure these would work in 18's either, in terms of the style.
I think 18's on a fox is the limit in terms of looks and "pulling it off".
I also think 18's on SN95's is also the limit in size. In terms of width...there is no limit

I've always wanted to see what a fox look liked with these .. They're nice rims and would've tried it out too . But I agree 18" is the biggest ill run on my fox ..

I tried 2010-2012 GT500 19" Rims, fit perfect in the rear because I have the longer Saleen Rear Disc Setup but the front I couldn't turn after I had to put 1.25" Spacers in the front to clear my coilovers, I wonder if I didn't have coilovers in the front if it would have worked
