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...

i had to roll the lips on the 84 with a 4.5" and 255/60R15 tires, but mine was lowered with a eibach pro-kit.

Posted by STREETFIGHTER50 (Member # 2973) on :

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.

Let's see some pics!!!

Posted by Curt (Member # 6254) on :

I have 5.5 BS and 225/25/15 and they rub when going over bumps

Posted by STREETFIGHTER50 (Member # 2973) on :

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

OK here's some pics:

Posted by Notch1320 (Member # 2647) on :

Very clean car! Thanks for the pics...
