no shit i might sell my 15X8's and put some 10's on with 275/60's...what about the old baseball bat trick to "message" deh fenderwells..

What is it with people wanting to know the biggest tire they can fit on any given wheel? 99% of the time you dont even need the biggest tire to run the times your car is capable of. Go as fast as you can, with the smallest tire, not the other way around.

On your factory 16, i would try out a 26x8.50, and see how the car does with those. I dont think you'll need anymore.

its not only for traction jakas...yeah if you cant hook on 275/60/15 drag radials on 15X10 rims you gotta problem..its kinda for looks too..

I like the look aspect, which why I would like to run a bigggg tire, even if my car isnt all that. I just like the looks of a meaty tire on a car.

SHOOT ME for being such a HORRIBLE person..

Yeah well taking your quad shocks off without aftermarket arms is not a good idea. Prob gonna end up breaking something.. Sounds to me like something an idiot would do. Why dont you take that tire money and get a set of upper and lower arms B4 you do some damage..

I have an idea why dont you worry about your car and I'll worry about mine. Taking quad shocks off stock control arms wont hurt anything you arent talking to a moron.

Who said you were a horrible person? I understand the looks aspect. I just dont think its very smart to waste money on a larger tire, when you dont need it. Personally, a big ass tire on a fox looks stupid to me.. there is such a thing as too big.

stock control arms with no quads will equal wheel hop, i have some cheap summit racing upper & lower control arms ( less then 200 bucks ) and they work great
