Has Any body put a 10.5 rim on a fox with 5 lug conversion? I saw a deal on 10.5 saleen replicas with 24mm offset.

Its been done alot... You should check out Corral.net & research the wheel/tire section... There are alot of people running the 10.5" replica wheels. As long as you have fox length axles, the right wheel offset, run the right tire combo, roll the fender lips, massage the inner fender, & possibly lose the quad shocks it should fit. Sometimes tailpipe clearance is an issue as well...315 Nittos, or Sumitomos have been known to fit since the run narrow. BFG, MT, & goodyear 275's should work good as well....

Good luck....

Here are a few pics of Fox's running 10.5's.....

10 inch prostar's "6.5 inch backspacing" with MT 27X15X10.5 . Lost the quad shock's, tail pipes, and some heavy massaging on the inner fenderwell's [Wink] . They fill up the fenderwell's nicely [Cool] .

saleen's and welds look good, the deep dish 10.5's look stupid on fox's IMO.

I went with 9" wheels personally.
