those look nice. not quite my cup of tea though. sn95 wheels look so natural on these fox birds. they look like they would tuck up in there decent enough. 17x8 wheels seem to be the ticket. you could swap to fox stang control arms as well. the wheels that had the desirable offset (hawk had some before he switched to those sick i forged sweethearts) are getting hard to find as they were discontinued if i remember correctly.

If the XR7 is stock then he already has Fox Stang control arms. The only way he can pull the arms in is to swap to a Fox Stang K-member.

It's hard to tell if I like the Cobra wheels on the XR7. I need to see them with tires and on ground level. I tried that same method with my 95 Cobra's on Darkthunder and I thought I made a mistake.
