Default foxbody with focus rims? jw

i was surfing and found these beauts. i was just wondering if they would fit a fox. dont 10 holes have a 5" backspacing? these say they have 5.94" so they will stick out more right? so they would totally not even work right? they say they are 17X7. so a wider tire would/wouldnt work for them? omg im a totaly newb...damn.

I agree with what he said . IMO the fox body will look good with any of the GT wheels from 94-04. But of course, it will require a 5 lug conversion.

Front wheel drive rims will not work on a real wheel drive car, the offset is the problem...don't do it...

wouldnt they be the same on all 4 corners? is the offset to deep or too shallow? will it need spacers or milling? im just curious...i havent bought a muffler yet and i really need one i dont think im gonna go drop cash on some rims lol.

so if i understand this correctly in order for it to work id need spacers to push the rims out farther away from the centerline. cuz i read a focus forum and they were putting mustang rims on their focus and they had to mill the hub to pull them closer so from what im gathering the rims are already to far in the wheel well and they need to be pushed out right? anyone?
