Has anybody got these rims on a fox yet?

Hey guys just wondering if these rims will bolt up to a fox? I found a cheap set by me and i always wanted to see them on a fox.

ill see i can do a chop really quick..i was thinking of 2 different wheels for my fox..those are on eof them..bullets are the other and the last is the other wheels that come on the GT...

if i am not mistaken, with the offset of the newer S197's rims, they would sit too far under the car on a fox, unless you use a spacer. personally, there are a lot of nicer looking rims out there for a fox body with a 5 lug conversion. again, it's just my opinion...

They look just like the wheels on my 04 Crown Vic Sport.

When the hell did I put those on?

With the right 5 lug set up they should fit fine.

 

[wythors]

The offset is all wrong. They'll sit in too far and rub unless you use a spacer.

Offset is like 35mm. They won't fit in a fox.

They will fit if you have the SN95 brake conversion.

 

[wythors]

No they won't. They don't fit on an SN95 either. It's not the bolt pattern, it's the offset.

any S197 wheel looks retarted on anything older...the offset is wrong and they sit in way too far...

Actually, I'm pretty sure those ARE the same rims as an SAP (Sport Appearance Package) Crown Vic - same bolt circle (5x4.5") but probably a slightly deeper backspacing than on the Panther cars...

They look GREAT on a Panther, but on a Fox? Meh ... not bad, but there's a lot of better-looking alternatives to be had...

Close, but no cigar. I just compared them to my CV Sport and the spokes on the CV wheels are a little thicker and the hub area is flatter.

I also checked the offset and it is almost 3/4 of an inch deeper than the Fox or SN95 wheels are.
