    Guys- does anyone think it is possible or tried to fit a rim sized as above under a fox?

    Will the backspacing work?

    I had 17x9 R's on my coupe with 275-40's on the rear I did have to remove the quads but tail pipes were fine. Close but fine.

    I have 00R rims on my fox 18x9.5, 265 35 front, 275 35 rear
    took alot to make them fit, pulling the fenders/trimming the lx trim piece on the fender, sledgehammering reàrs, rolling lips etc
