Hey everyone, right now I have 275/50 15 mickey thompson drag radials on stock 10 holes right now. I did this because I didn't want to buy some racing wheels this year, but next year I'm wanting to get some. I was wondering if anyones had an 15x9 wheel with a 5.5 inch backspacing on the rear on a fox, or if anyone would know if this would make the wheel/tire stick out too much. I still have the stock rear track width. Any input would be appreciated thanks.

Unless you roll your fenders....the MTs will rub.

I know this first hand.


A 9" Weld with 6"s of back space rim will work though.

Sorry I forgot to mention I have the fenders rolled and I have adjustable LCA's, do you think the tire will be even with the fender?

thanks for your input.

With your fenders rolled...you should be fine.

Yes they will work i have them on my 86 GT. The only time they might rub is when you hit a big bump going fast. But all in all they work good and dont stick out at all.

Does your tire ever rub on the inner fender? What size tire are you running? Sorry for the ?'s Thanks for responding
