Whats the biggest tire you can put on a fox without any work? 275? How about with some fender rolling?

275's had to remove the quad shocks. Also recommend rolling the fender.

Many ask this question, but it ALL comes down to getting the perfect offset of wheels!

I have 275 with rolled fenders on both the 90 vert and the 93 cobra... well worth it - noticeably more traction than 245.

275's in the rear. You gotta roll your fenders but can leave your quads on (at least I didn't have any issues).

No regrets at all. Looks Sick and Mean!! And Deff. Dose Not Rub if I hit a bump or dip doing 80+ on the freeway.. It handles really good. Way better then it used to. But I did springs and swaybars at the same time.....

Im running a 275/40/17 in the rear with flipped quad shocks and an eibach pro kit. No rubbing whatsover but Id like to get the fenders rolled to have a better piece of mind. Im sure itll rub if I got a full car load though.

So what about the front? Will a 17x9 fit without sticking out? Mine stick out at least a half inch. The backspacing is 5.95" and the offset is +24mm. I'm using 95 spindles.

I got a 17x9 in the front as well but stock spindles, not sure on whats causing them to stick out. Maybe someone else can chime in
