getting the rear for my 89 fox built this week and since i will be going 5 lug i need to get some wheels before its bolted in. Found a guy with a pair of nice 5 luggers, 10.5 wide and 315/35/17 tires. Will this squeeze in on my little fox and under the fenders, they are deep dish anthracite bullets and although i was more looking to do black bullets its a good price.

Any info appreciated, i will be eliminating the quad shocks if its any relevance.

backspacing on it?

ponyboy88

unfort. the ad didnt say, i was hoping i could get a range as far as what backspacing i would need to get a 10.5 back there on the wider axle.

anyone?


Thanks

I've got 275s in the back of mine, I had to mod the exhaust pipe to pull the tailpipe closer to the fuel tank... hopefull you won't have any issues, or you have dumps.

nope, im an Lx tried and true, like the polished pipes, did you have to put a bend in the pipe or just move the hanger location.

i did mention ther tires were 315's though, which makes me concerned, does anyone have that wide of a tire on a fox?

for arguments sake,
Wheel Offset: +27mm
Wheel Backspacing: 6.83
what tire on a wider axle (sn95 out of a 97 fox)
and will that rim be under the car or do i need to look at 9 inch rims.
