I bought this on the weekend, 90 LX 5.0 5 speed. The rims on it a quite possibly the ugliest rims ever.
I would like a set of draglites, but they seem to be hard to locate used. Will a set of 17x9 Bullits fit without scrubbing ?

most bullits are 17x8 and they should fit but check the backspacing

Lol, those are SN95 V6 rims. You will be able to fit any 17x8 and 17x9 rims as long as front tires don't exceed 245's

Edit: those cobra reps that hot Ford has for sale would look killer on that black fox

Those actually look like 96 stock cobra wheels.

^^^yeah, was thinking they were the cobra wheels.

Regardless, they do look hideous on a Fox.

Lol John, those 10 holes are staying on that 84 for a bit. ( until I find some draglites) & even then I will keep them. Plus this fox has a 5 bolt conversion on it.

on a side note that looks like a clean fox hatch. Just what I like to see. What are the details on the car?

Agreed, I actually like them. Same size as a stock Bullitt wheel so likely the offset will be the same also. Although it looks like someone has spacers on the rear or stuffed a wider rear in there, so depending on the tire size and suspension you may end up with rubbing back there. What's in the front for 5-lug? Those are common because they can hide the wheel bearing cap if it's got Lincoln or Ranger 5-lug stuff.

it depends what was used for the conversion. If an svo or t-bird rear was used the wheels stick out 3/4 which could explain why the wheel on the OP's car look the way they do. Those saleen wheels you had on your black new edge would have looked great on this car. Blullet wheels will only fit if the front hubs are sn95.

Not much to say about it really. 125,000 klms ( motor has a tag on valve cover saying it is a Ford replacement so I am guessing it was replaced early on) real clean car. Door seams , floors, front frame & all the important area are nice .It has newer mustang 6 way power seats in it. The gray interior was sprayed black , I am going to change the door panels, maybe front seats . It just went thru a safety , new rotors, new back brakes. It needs tires then I will get the paperwork. Thats why I am looking for Bullitts or Draglites . Then its up for sale , unfortunately. I bought this one to drive and enjoy , then I bought the 84 GT on here as well. I cant afford 2 Mustangs. I guess this just turned into a For Sale Ad LOL.
