im not sure about 315s...
someone said that july 2008 5.0 magazine has article on it. might want to pick that up and check it out. I am about to put a roll cage in myself, and am debating whether to just mini tub it or not

Yeah well if i could fit 325/60s or even something just a tad smaller without tubbingthat would be great. I was looking to run something like this.


Those are MT R15/325/60S. Im guessing this car is tubbed to fit that size?

In one of the mustang mags they tucked a 315 on a 17x10" Chrome Pony R rim under a 88 coupe. They had to bang the back half (From the rear end back) of the inner fender well. They rolled the fender, and it fit just fine. Check out the article, Its really in depth. BTW for a fox you need 6.25-6.5" Back spacing for a 315 to fit!

Nik!

yeah and thats the reason i havent bought rims or tires yet because i want to get the backspacing and rim with correct first to fit the max about of rubber. So should i go for a 315 and try it? or do you think it will work? I will probably take the car to my body guy and have him beat the inner fenders with tools and fit them for me. Would it be ok to go with a 15x10 with 6"bs or does 17 make a change? Would 315/50s or 315/60s fit?
