I have a 91 lx coupe that i am looking at putting a new set of wheels on,but dont know if they will fit. The wheels are 17x9 in the front with a 24mm offset, and the rears are a 17x10.5 on the rear with a 27mm offset. The tires I am considering are 245-45-17 on front and a 275-40-17 on the rears. I have swapped the factory rear end out for a rear end out of a 2001 gt. So everything is stock. If anyone could help me out and let me know if this will work I would greatly appreciate it.

tires are too small for those wheels, and with that rear end they'll stick out a BUNCH in the back. If the car is stock height, it probably won't be a problem, but it won't look right.

Use 275s for the 17x9s and 315s for the 17x10.5s.

KJ did a REALLY GOOD article on fitting 17x10.5s on a fox. You can find it somewhere on this site in the tech area.
