15x8 rims work on a fox?

[475HP '03 cobra]

will 15x8 rims work on a fox, they have 5.5 backspacing....also what size tires (max width) could i run on here......15/__ /__

[QWKSNKE]

yes they will work.

What kind of tires? Track setup or regular street radials?

[475HP '03 cobra]

looking for street radials that have pretty good grip, and also what size drag radials would it take and who makes them?


by the way on th street radials i want the same size up front too

[475HP '03 cobra]

will there be any rubbing at full lock or does that backspacing ok

I have 15x8 on mine but I have no idea what the backspacing is.

15x8 with 5.5 back spacing for the rear with a Drag Radial of 275x50 15, for street a regular radial with a size of 295x50x15, up front a 15x7 with a back spacing of 4.0 and a 205 65x 15 will look really good.

if they eights dont rub up front i wanna have same size all around so i can rotate, but if the 8's rub i'll go will 7's and put the max in the rear......

whats the max u can run in the rear tire and rim width 9 or 10...and 275?

also what is the max tire width i can fit up front becuase the lowest size i can find drag radials for 15" rims is on a 275 tire

In the 10" rim you can use the 275 50 or the 295 50 with a back spacing of 6.5 and a 1/4" spacer. If you go with a 9" 5.5 back spacing will work too with either tire. You can use a 15x8 up frotn but the back spacing has to be of 4". A 265 50 15 you might get it to work but I think it will rub at the struts.

i've decided i'm going to just throw some skinnies on up front and put the big dogs out back with some nitto 550R's:snatch: .

thanks for the help, PJ

how much will that 10 inch rim stick out, or do you suggest 9's, also can you fit 275's with a 10 with 6.5" backspacing and 1/4th inch spacer? does it really even matter since in both situations i'll be running a 275 tire?

The 10" rim with the 6.5 back spacing and a 275 50 tire is not going to stick out of the fender, you'll need the 1/4" spacer so it will clear inside the fender wells, beter yet, get the 15x 9 which comes with the 5.5 back spacing and that tire and it will fit perfect.

yeah that looks good but i think i'm going to go with the 9 and tuck it under a bit more. plus looking at it from behind it will still look about the same because of the tire size
