i forgot if u have to roll the outer lips to fit this combo on our foxes. i dont mind having to reverse/remove the quads or masagging the inners, but i dont wanna take any chances messing up the paint by rolling the outer lips. will they fit?

Will fit just fine.
I'm running 255/60/15s on a 15x8 Draglite with 4.5" backspacing. No quads and no lip roll.

i have to disagree with the other comment...
I had the same combo and had to roll my fenders on 275/60/15 BFG's....
but that was on intrax 1.5" drop springs tooo...
probably would have worked on stock height...but just barely...

was that because u had 4.5" backspace or was it the 5.5"?

just installed the 275/60's. flipped the quads & massaged a little inside. only very slight rub i hear when goin over certain angles. otherwise drove from sac on the freeway with no rubbing issues.

i have stock springs on her ryt now. i notice the rubbing goin over driveways @ an angle or over big bumps/dips while cornering! lol! i dont notice any marks on the outer part of the tire. maybe needs a little more massaging on the inners or just remove the quad shocks. i'll post up some pics this weekend.

damn...I hate to say i told ya so....buuut...
good shit though...the stock springs help keep from rubbing a lot...you'll see a huge problem though if you try and drop it....you'll do a lot of massaging after that
