Default Enlarging wheel wells on fox

Hello everyone has anyone done this I want to run 10 inch rim in the rear of my fox coupe. I have 275/60 r 15 on a 10 inch wheel and I know I will have to beat the wells in but I have not done this. I have a eastwood fender roller which I will do first but the hammering makes me nervous.

Does this mean you have done it. I am just finishing my build and want to do this right the first time. I have seen a weak video on the net of someone doing it but does not offer any tips.

beating the inner wheel well is quick and easy. What wheels are you using? I had the same size tire on stock turbines with no issues with the stock springs. The car came like that when I got it.

that tire shouldnt have to much fitness issues, but it all depends on the backspacing u have for the rim.
I have a 275/60R15 mickey thompson on 8" drag light. ONLY thing i had to do was remove my quad shock (due to rubbing)

Default 275/60 r 15

I am running 275/60 r/15 on a 10 inch rim. They seem real big next to car.
