Default r15/325/50s

Is it possable to fit 325/50's in the rear of a lx coupe mustang. If so what size rim 15x10 or 15x8? Will this work with just rolling the fenders alittle messaging? What would need to be changed to the suspension to fit thebigger tires if not (tubs ext...)
Thanks

Well i have a body guy that could do some tubs for me when i do the 8pnt rollcage. But whats all involved in the minitub? Do they sell kits with everything for relocating the shocks, ext... i would like to just buy a kit, bring it all to my body guy and have him install it.


edit: with tubs whats about the widest you can run with street slicks

That would depend on how deep your tubs go now wouldn't it.

I would suggest not going the mini tubing route. June 2008 5.0mustang magazineshows how to fit 315s under the rear ofa fox with some massaging. May want to research though because ofdifferent backspacing.Ton of peopleruns quick times with 275s

he said he is putting an 8 point cage in, wouldn't it be hard to put mini tubs in later down the road with the cage already welded in?
