The 200 GT wheels on my '89 LX barely fit in the front. I doubt they
will work without hacking up the wheel wells and may not work at all.

Easy enough to find out with a little extra time on your hands. I've
seen a couple of sites with specs on making a template contraption to
bolt to your rotors so you can take measurements for wheel size and
back spacing.

hey bro the largest you can put in your 87gt is a 18"x 9" , even with
this size of a wheel you may have to have lip on your rear fender
flares rolled. I have 18" x 8.5" 98 Saleen wheels on my fox body
mustang and they fit perfect with Nitto tires 275/40 rear . It is all
about the offset.

With zero changes or mods 17x9 is the largest. Any taller and
the well will rub on humps and hard turns, any wider and they won't
clear the quad shocks. 18" doesn't look good on a Fox anyway, it gets
ghetto, stay with 16 or 17 inch and lower it buy an inch or so. The
ride won't suffer as mauch and the handling will be far better.

If they're 18's, then I guess so. I'm not a fan of rubber band tires
and "Ferris" wheels, no matter who makes them.

Windsorfox, I beg the differ. 18" wheels look good on fox bodies. It
is all about the style of the wheel of course. I would like to e-mail
you a picture of my fox with 98-Saleen 18" and ask for your opinion,
but only after you have seen the picture.
