Ok...255/40/17's for the front and 275/40/17's for the rear on bullitt rims for a stock height 93 fox body. I have a feeling that I might be pushing cause those tires look pretty big. I am very curious cause I need tires and have come across a good deal. [burnout] [burnout] [burnout]

275s are sort of pushing it. Some 265s would fit much better.

Those are the exact size tires I have on my hatch. The 275s do rub on hard bumps but since you have stock ride height that is not a problem. The 255s will rub at full lock, again, you have stock ride height and you have a 93 with bigger fender openings.


I say go for it, go a little smaller if you plan on lowering it.


Roll the fenders to be safe, or if you experience rubbing in the back.

For the front tire rubbing buy some rack limiters from ford to limit your turning radius a little and stop the rubbing on a full lock turn. They just snap in under the passenger side steering rack boot. Just add one at a time until the rubbing goes away. The only downfall is tougher U turns, but at least you don't have to worry about tearing everything up. The ford part number is N804842-S.

bullits are only 8" wide, why would u wanna do such a wide tire?

The rear will rub depending on your setup, do you have disc brakes? If so I'll just let you know that my 255's with bullits rub on hard bumps and it's lowered a little bit.
