You will have to either have the wheels sticking out past the fender
or have to cut off and move the lower control arms over.

10.5's dont fit on Fox's

i dont see why it will not fit if you do some little modes with the rear end mini tub it and what ever it hits on the rear end cut and weld it further in. but you will have to figure out your back spacing and make sure everthing will line up right. the rims you have now probly wont work.
i have a 1994 mustang i just put 15x8 welds with hooser slicks 28x10.5 tread with 11 inch side walls with no mods, you just need to make sure everything messurse perfect and you might have to roll your finders. before i made my car into a drag car i had 18x10.5 in the rear saleen rims and they fit fine. good luck
it will fit on a sn95 car but a fox it will not.

yep SN95's have wider rear body panels so 10.5's fit on them with out sticking out.
I have 275 tires on 9" rims on my Fox and they take up ALL available room, and thats with quad shocks removed
any wider and it would either stick out or hit control arms depending on rim backspacing

youd have to do some mini tubs and a narrowed rear with some rear chassis work maybe. but if your gonna do that might as well got 12' wide

I've got ROH ZS wheels 17x9.5 in the back of my 93'LX. I dont think it looks bad at all.

you can fit any size you want with the right mods. if he realy wants it im shur he could move some factory items and reweld them, my friend has a fox that is tubed with 12inch wide tires, but he did put a 4 link rear set up. anything you put your mined to you can accomplish.

331 strocker DSS
650 mighty deamon carb
victor jr intake
202 194 world products heads
comp cams .600 .576
2 stage nos 175 and 250 shot
full hooser slicks 28x10.5
and so on 9.489

ya know what it's grip okay so be retarded with slippery 9 inch rims, I play real drag with 12's on the back 335 on 18, with 285 on the front with 10 inch rims, plus front and rear are quad piston 13 inch, doesn't look at all natural but if your playing natural go buy a Bimmer some ****, Muscle was made to be rodded out!

Same with Cobra's, people treat em to nice most the time! ROD THE SNAKE OUT!

People need to stop being so God Damned wimpy and get out and do it! Modifications are risky sure, but no less risky than starting your car every day! JEEZ

******
you have absolutely NO clue..

stupid kid
ps AdderMK2 has no idea what he is talking about he told me The wrong size for my car about 2 months ago
