Default 2 ???'s Rear Tire width & Quads ('91 GT)

Note: this car is a street car only with 351w... Can anyone give me a good tire size to run on the rear (widest) and front. I have the 5 star 16 x 7 ponies (stocks). And can i remove the quads without having to worry about much as far as performance or handling? Thank You in advance!
Mike

t sure on the tire width since i dont have a fox. but i think 275's are the MAX you can go without messin with your fenders. and i also know that you can take off the quad's with no ill effects if you have aftermarket u/l control arms. hopefully you have those since you have a 351, or else you'll get no traction.

A 275 is gonna be a bit big for a 7" rim. I would go w/ a 255 in the rear, shouldn't be an issue w/ the quads and stick w/ a 255 up front depending on the look you want.
