Default mustang wheel size for fox

what is the widest and biggest diameter wheel you can put on the back of a fox without having to modify anything?

Quad shocks will have to come off and you'll most likely have to roll your fenders. I'm running 275/40/17's on 17x9 bullits and it's borderline, and in addition I only have about 3/4 of an inch space from my exhaust as well. Make sure to post some pics..

make sure the backspacing is correct, I believe mine are 17X9 rims also and it 's a tight fit

i think im going to opt out of such a wide wheel but i still want deep dishes. i found some 18x9 dishes. would go with 17x9 but they dont come in a deep dish style. what tire would have to go on those so they wont rub. you think 275/35/17 will work without rub?

you would need a 18 in tire for a 18 in wheel though
