whats the widest wheels and tire combo you guys have done on a fox? without rubbing issues, front and rear? im looking to get some 18's soon, and want to know the best "go big or go home" combination for my 1991 with a SN95 DISC BRAKE CONVERSION? also what offset would i need to fit at least 285s in the rear. thanks....

Hey lee, what size tires are you running in the rear?

Well, on my GT have a 17 x 10 rears with a WIDE Mickey Thompson 275/40/17 Drag Radial, which seems to fit the rim perfect, on my Coupe I have 15 x 10 rears with 28 x 9.0 Hoosier Slicks but I am going to 28 x 10.5 Mickey Thompson.

I RUN 245-40-17 IN FRONT AND 275-40-17 IN REAR ON EIBACH SPORTLINE SPRINGS WITH NO RUB. AND ALL I DID WAS ROLL IN THE FENDER WELL NICE

275/35/18s on the coupe no rubbing at all. Didn't even have to roll the fenders. 285 would fit no problem have plent of clearance, and now that the fenders are rolled maybe even a 295 perelli. In the front the 245s rub on really hard cornering (on ramp to freeway). next time ill probably d a 235 on the saleens or get a better offset

aiite coo. thanks yal..

i think imma stick with 235 40 18's in the front with a 18x 9 front rim. and for the rear imma go 285 35 18 with a 18 x 10 dd rim.

thanks everyone..


does anyone know what size offset? sn95 front disc conversion, sn95 rear disc with ranger axles and north race car brackets, OR MAYBE ILL JUST DO ranger axles, with ranger drums... offset sizes pls!

I had the same setup on my 01 vert and u could really see the hieght diff in the 40 front and 35 rear and it looked ugly with a taller tee in front so be cautious of this. Good luck with it and post pics!

im running 265/35/18 front and 295/35/18 in back 18x9 and 18x10 with 1/4 wheel spacer.
 
Posted by RRRCobraSC281 (Member # 7086) on :
 
The reason I asked is because the 94-98 rearends are just 1.85" wider than the Fox. Plus, since the back spacing on the 05-09 18x10s on amercan racing are 7" and the back spacing on the 94-04 18x10s are 6.3".

Just wondering if this would work.

Amercan racing has bullits and now FR500s 18x10s.
