Default Whats your wheel and tire size?

Let's see what size wheel and tires everyone is running on their fox bodies. Tell us any modifications you had to make for fitment, if any. And if you have any rubbing issues. Post pics if you got them.

Size = 15" turbines
Tire = 225/60/r15

No modifications whatsoever believe it or not [&:]
I think you can picture it

I would also like to see some pics of tire sizes; I plan on going 275 in the rear, and 255 in the front, and would like a visualization of how flush they sit with the fender

90 Mustang, Weld 15 inch Pro Stars FRPP 31 Spline race axles with five lug and brand new Ranger brake drums with 15X10 on a 6.5 inch back space. Rolled the wheel lip opening and the inner whell tub on the back a bit 295/50/15 BFG Radials on one set and 28X10.5 Mickey ET Drags on the other. Front, new 88 Lincoln Mark VII Brake rotors for five lug and 15X3.5 Weld Pro Stars on the front running Kelly Tire 165R 15 radial tires. I know it is not the 17/18 inch lowered look that most seek but I do like the big and little drag look on the street. I have pics but have no Idea how to post them lol. And damned if I can figure it out. I can send them by e-mail though.
