    Well, other than the obvious 5-lug fitment issue, they'll fit just fine. They're 17x8" +31mm, the same as all of the other 17x8" SN95 wheels.

    Very much like your SVO rims on the 4th of your other Capris.....Terry's 81 Capri "White" Black Magic I6.


    If you've added 5 lug without the track width increase, it'll look the same as Foxy Capri's. The extra offset goes inboard just a little, but the bigger wheel diameter clears the control arms better. Not sure if you can run it without spacers, propably not.

    Everyones different, but bigger SN95 wheels look even better on Foxes than the later Fox 4's.

    They look even better than the wheels you've got now, Joe.

    Someones missing there space saver spares dude,





    give them back....

    Ok...... please tell us that's not your parts car.

    I say this jokingly but the deeper knowledge I get of some of the vehicles that have died under the label "parts car" the less funny it is to me.

    Heck, my 85GT has less than 50K miles on it and a near perfect interior and no rust to speak of anywhere ..... yet rather than fixing the few things caused by stupidity some dunce used it as a "parts car". Like seriously!? That because a $350 wiring harness needed to be replaced?

    Sadly I know where the original motor and trans are for it, but so far haven't been able to strike up a deal on them. Oh well, won't be the first or the last fox that is without its matching numbers.

    Anyway-- good luck with your build. Let us know if you need something hard to find.
