biggest tire and rim set up on a 86

burtonbullitt · January 16th, 2010, 10:28 AM

hi guys. i just sold my 01 bullitt and i had 10.5 deep dish rims with 295 35 17 tire on them. i was wondering if any one new if those rims will fill after i do a 5 lug conversion on my 86 .

the 5 lug conversion should not have anything to do with it, but i know you can fit a 10.5 drag radial under a stock mustang.

burtonbullitt · January 16th, 2010, 02:08 PM

the only reason i said five lug is because the bullitt rims are 5 the 86 is 4 lug. but thank you. do you know if the rub or any mods have to be done to get them to fit?

im not sure with the 86's but you have to take the quad shock off for sure. then from there depending on suspension mods you may have to roll the quarters and solve some clearance issues on the inside with a BFH, but shouldnt have to do much with 10.5. 295mm to inches is 11.6. so good luck, that might be a far stretch

there was a thread made a while ago of a guy with 10.5's on his fox but he had 315's. he pulled the quads rolled the fenders and had to beat the inside fender well with a hammer

Your gonna have to pull the quad shocks for sure. You may have to roll the fender and beat the inside to be safe.

And whats that guy up there mean by a 5 lug shouldnt matter? Your gonna have to do a 5 lug conversion to put rims from a 5 lug car on there

I was gonna go 10.5 with 275s on mine wich most people do cause Foxes have much less room in the wheel wells than our New Edges do.

But with a BFH and some time it can be done

u might not have to pull the quads..i am running 275 dr's on a 9 inch wheel and had to just flip the quads end for end, cuz then it puts the shaft towards the back of the car giving more clearance for wider tires..i know with the 275's i still have like half an inch before they rub the inside fenderwell and like 3/4 of an inch before hitting the shaft of the quad shocks...I am not sure how much wider the sn95 rear wheel wells are, but i have a buddy with 315's on a 10.5 wheel on the back and all he had to do was flip the quad shocks

i was stating that the 5 lug conversion would not make a difference for weather or not his tire would fit.
