You can fit a 17x10 inside my wheel arches with the right offset. The only reasons I didn't go the 17x10 is that engineering a 10 inch wide wheel would be very hard. And getting a tyre with a diameter small enough to fit inside an escort wheel well doesn't exist. I can fit a tyre larger in width than a 255/40/17 but any bigger and the diameter won't fit. My current wheels have a 6 inch back space and a 4 inch front. The 17x7 on the front are a tight fit but go under.
The Rod Andrews tubbs were $250, that is supply only though. And the entire original wheel well was removed back to the chassis rail.
