Default tires/wheels.........

(asking for a friend as I don't know and he doesn't have internet ATM)

Can't remember the year of his car, I know it's a 1989-1993(one of these years) LX latch.

Will a 10" wheel (rear) with 275(Possibly bigger)/50/or60???????????????/15's fit w/ no mods.

The tire CANNOT be past the fender as it will be non-street-legal then.

What B.S will he need for a 10" Wheel, with 275(can it be bigger w/ no bulging?) 50 or 60's and a 15" rim.

He wants a rather small front wheels, 4" rims on 5"(Don't know what that is in MM off hand) tires possibly, if he goes a 50 rear, will he need a 60 front to be level?

What mods will need to be done with this setup IF any mods need to be done?

Thanks.

speaking of which what's the largest 17" and 18" combination that you can run on the front and rear of a fox?

i'm thinking 17x9F and 17x10R and 18x9 all around is about the max you can slap under the fenders ...

I'm not absolutely sure but I think a 275 is to wide for a fox w/o modifications.

I have 17x10.5" in the back w/ 275's, It needed about a quarer inch spacer because of the control arm, but it fits inside the fender well almost exactly, they don't stick out at all and I think it looks pretty mean too. I don't see why one couldn't go 18x10 w/ 275, should be no problems, just might need a small spacer.

Pics would be great.

So, a 275/50/15 on a 10" rim with a small spacer will fit right in w/ no mods?

Also again, is it on a Fox body? or newer car??
