for your 93?

My understanding is the 10.5's will not clear the fender lip or the quad shock. Try and see though.

CLearance back there with the 10.5 will be difficult. I have seen a few foxes with the 10.5's and IMHO they don't look good on the cars. I would stick with the 17x9;s and go with the 275's on those wheels. I run a 275 on the back of my fox with the 17x8.5 93cobra replica from Wheel Replicas and the fit is perfect even with the quads on the car.

I've got 17x8 wheels from a 98 cobra on there now and there is at least 2 inches to spare. it looks like it'd be close though. I wish the places that sold the rims had pics of what they look like on various cars. This is the 17x10.5 I am considering.

picking rims for the car is never an easy task. these might look cool too!

these are 18x10. would save that half an inch off the top listed choice.
