Youll need spacers unless the BS is set up to look ghetto fabulous

That size wheel needs an 11" tire at minimum, and an 11" tire will rub even with quads removed

10 1/2" tire with quads reversed works fine though, he should have stuck with a 8" wheel

Tell Juanito stop asking so many people an do what me and everybody already said to do. No quads roll the fenders beat the inner wells and run a nitto 315 since theyre smaller than other 315's

I'm with you on that... Mickey Thompson's ET streets hook way harder than any of the Nitto drag radials.

OMG.... 12's really...oh god damn wow .... i could only wish, it would be just like the mustangs i had in highschool 15 years ago......

Nittos have their place,

Basically unless your a drag only car there great everyday tires, look good, work pretty good, and the actual dimensions are ideal for a 10.5 on a stock width fox.

But on the outside chance i wanted to play with the big boys, it wouldnt be in this daily driver.
