Im curious as to how wide of a tire we can squeeze under the fox body fenders in the rear without rubbing either the quad shocks or fender??

I have a set of 15x8.5 +20 offset rims and was planning on putting some 265/50 R15's on them... will i have clearance issues? and if i need to remove the quad shocks, what do i need to do? control arms??

 

have to remove quad shock and have a 4 inch offset

 

^That would be a 4 inch backspacing. OP do you know what the backspacing on your wheels are? The size of the tire is easily stuffed into the rear on a stock 15inch wheel but the backspacing and offset will be the determining factor. If you do have a slight quad shock you can just unbolt it and flip it to give you some more clearance.

 

well all i know is what i have posted. it says on the tag +20... They are Prime wheels

 

ok the lay them face down and still a straight edge across the wheel. Then measure the distance from the straight edge to the hub of the wheel.

 

yea, i meant to do that when i bought them... so ill get that measured and we'll see... it probably will be tomorrow... what size would i need for the 265's tho? 4 inch backspacing?

 

I am running 275 / 60 / 15's ... Be sure to roll the fenders otherwise you will eat up your tires via fender knives...

 

I have never done body work before. Can you please explain rolling the fenders. What tools do you need to do this?

 

Do a search... "Rolling fenders"

 

5.5" would be ideal. The 4" is gonna make the tire sit way out and look like crap. Tire rub will be inevitable.
