Anyone running NT 05R 275/40/17 on Fox

Wondering if I am going to have to roll my rear fenders to fit 275/40/17 Nitto NT-05R Drag Radials on my Fox.

Anyone running these on a Fox?

You would be advised to do so

I know some Fox's have run such a tire, but is pushing the clearance without modification to fenders. This question also involves your off-set/back-space measurements, so may be able to just remove or flip your quads instead.

Take a peek at ***THIS*** thread for some addtional info

Quads were flipped years ago so I could run my Hancook 255s on my 17x9 Cobra R rims. There is still room with the 255s. I have heard Nittos run small, but dont know if that is just a rumor.

I have heard that as well, but one good way to CONFIRM the clearance you have. Head into Choosing a new tire thread and look a little ways down for "I want fat meats" or some such wording. I put a specific paragraph on how to measure the clearance you have and can see if additional width will fit under your ride.
