Is anyone running bullits or other 17" 5 lug wheels on a foxbody with coilovers?

Will they fit, any problems?

Thanks Brian

I am gonna run Bullit wheels they measure out at 5.5 backspacing on Lincoln rotors.

Thanks for the info Guys!

What Bullit wheels are those Brian? Factory Ford Bullit wheels are 5.72" backspacing. Either way, you should be fine with coilovers, especially if you are running the 17x8's.

looks like i'm gonna need a spacer for the front wheels, the wheels with the center caps off will not slide all the way on the rotor. The center of the rotor where the bearings is a lot bigger then the 4 lug ones.

You can grind out the center of the rim to clear it. Not much needs to be taken out.

Looks like the whole ring where the center cap pops on is the culprit, that will almost need to be ground completely off.

Yeah. When I ran bullits on my fox a few years ago i had to grind them decently to fit but never had any issues the 6 or so months I ran them.

That's cool, I'm gonna throw on a set of spacers for now see how hat works out. I need some acorn lug nuts and a couple spacers. Then i can put the rear axles in and get it rolling.
