i think you are all thinking some big *** chromed out wheel. theres no different then putting on an 18 inch cobra rim. its just going to fill the wheel well gap more. you guys are just affraid to be different and try new things

By going to a 20" wheel you will almostly certainly have to increase the overall height of the wheel/tire combo, and likely by quite a bit.

If you want to fill the wheelwell's then lower it a bit, don't throw a massive wheel at it. 18's are biggest that belong on a fox body IMO.

I have faith that it will look decent. It won't be no performance improvement thats for sure. Anyone got any pictures of 18's on a Fox? That way we can get an idea of how much 2 inches will look like? Someone must be able to photoshop bigger wheels on a Fox.

Any ideas of which rims you want to go for?

: 18F 20R ?

Two VERY different sizes of wheel / Tires will cause you problems.

Perhaps a little...but when you upsize wheels, you generally use a smaller sidewall tire to compensate.

I doubt they will fit without any cutting. You'll probably need to raise the ride height to make 'em fit too. Good luck with it.
