Author Topic: Tire sizes. Blue92 ¯ Member # 8789 posted                              Anyone running stock 16" pony's on a foxbody or have? I'm looking for different tires sizes. Would love to see pics of the different tire sizes you have, along with how they performed. All help is greatly appreciated!!!!

They are both the same height and it gives you a little of the big and skinnie look, Posts: 47 | From: sacramento | Registered: Nov 2007  |  : Jaejae5.0 ¯ Member # 7958 posted                              ill take some pics tomorow i just put on my ponys today -------------------- 1987 notchback h/c/i 302 & 70mm turbo SOLD 2000 camaro ss cam only Posts: 4890 | From: the combustion chamber | Registered: Oct 2007  |  : Wicked Motorsports ¯ Member # 8702 posted                                 When I had my 87LX it was lowered 2" on Jamex springs and CompetitionEnginnering UC's & LC's I used to run 16x7 4lug silver ponys w/a Goodyear RS-A P255/60R16 in the rear and P225/50/R16 in the front.It would only rub on the inner fender in a U-turn.It looked like a mini tub w/a bigg fat tire in the back.. -------------------- 92Fobra GT40/E303/BBK/Mac's (sold) 89notch 306HO/TFS1/BBK lt's 89CHP 331/5spd/LT's/LM1's (RIP) 65 331/HCI/TCI trans/SOLD Posts: 2604 | From: 831salinas | Registered: Oct 2008  |  : Blue92 ¯ Member # 8789 posted                              Awesome.
