A bit?
Looks like a middle school nerd with floods.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. They stick out maybe a little bit not as bad as your making it seem. It's def. a must see in person because I'm looking at the pics and they do them no justice.

Sorry- maybe I'm old - but I like the before wheels better.

You definitely need to tuck those in a bit more. The offset on those Wheels must be for an sn95/new edge.

It looks like it fits horrible. Just being honest.

Looks like a 70s mullet ride with the wheel sticking out so far, do have air shocks to go with the look

Thanks for the input. I like the way the car sits but I guess that's just my taste. I'm not going to lie though the wheels stick out a little but not as much as the pic is portraying them to be. Thanks though post pics of your rides too. If y'all got any!

What axles/rear-end are you using? And are you using spacers ? because when running an sn95 rear-end in a fox with 17x10.5's&315's they tend to stick out really far. Not saying that is what your running but from the looks of it thats what Im guessing

I'm running ranger axles and i have 3/4 spacers because it was rubbing real bad even after massaging the wheel wells with a BFH and removing the quad shocks. Thanks to all the input. If I could get them tucked in further I'd do it but truthfully I don't mind the look of it that much. I think it looks real beefy. The next major ride out I'll have it out there hopefully so make sure y'all come by and see it in person. Doesn't look half as bad as the pic is making it look.

Very nice flush. My rears are the wrong offset thats why they sit how they do but I already put the tires on so didn't want to remove the rims from the tires. I like the way mines look. It looks real aggressive as to 88gts which looks clean.. 86foureyes yours looks sick bro how it sits. cant really tell but yours dont look completely flush and i think if they were it wouldn't look half as mean as it does. But hey everyone has their own taste and that's what makes everyone else car unique. Thanks for the input fellas. Kind of wanted to see more pics of others with 315s

Actual tire size varies quite a bit with each brand. For example Hoosier 315's are huge compared to a Sumitumo HTRZ 315

I agree, I have had those same Hoosier 315's on 17x10.5's bullets, also had Nitto 555R 315's on the same rims and they were considerably more narrow than Hoosiers.

Yeah I read that somewhere else too. The rears had some nt05s in the rear and they fit flush with 1/4 spacer but the tires were gone so never had a chance to see if they would hook or not. My buddy recommended these because he had them and they hooked well so thats where im at now with the stick out and incorrect offset. But hey I could live with it. How did the 555rs compare to the Hoosiers far as performance?

Looks very clean. What kind of tires are you running in the rear?

Awful is a little extreme but ok thanks! Like i said in my previous post if you know how to read, car is only going to sit like this until I wear these tires out. That's why I'm asking others with 315s on their foxes what they did to get them flushed. Post a pic of your ride bro if you have one so I could compare thanks
