well first of all im not sure if ur fox has clearance, for the back rims, unless u had the fenders rolled?

anyway on the rims in front 275/40/17 and u can do the same in back but i would recommed the mt street radials for the back and thats the only size they come in that is not hella big. that way u have a better chance of fitting them on

the front will fit with the 17x9 rim and whatever kinda 275/40/17 tire that u want in front.

the only problem is....if u turn all the way when makin a u turn, it'll rub, but ya they'll fit in front.

On a fox I wouldnt go with anything bigger than a 245-45. I swapped rims off my 96 on to my 90 and it had 275's all the way around. they hit the outter lip and inside when I turned, it sucked bad. I would go with 245's up front and 275-40"s on the rear.

The 275's will rub bad up in front. Go with 245's in the front and 275's in the rear.

Ranger drum no quads, pound the hell out of the inside qtrs, an roll the outer.. eibach pro kit springs 1/2 coil cut in front an no cut rears. hope this helps. i think it was 91 an up had the bigger front fenders so ur kool there. i also had 18x9 blk bullits in the front of my 92 lx with 275's in the front without or barly any rubbing. had mark7 rotors in front on that set up an ranger axles on all those wheel combo's.

I would do a 265-35-18 and a 285-35-18

Here is how the 285's looked on my 18x10's



Also, Be careful about the Nitto DR's. Those run VERY narrow

I compared my 275/40/17 Goodyear F1's to a friends 315/35/17 nitto DR and they were almost the same width... The nittos were wider by less than 0.1"
