max tire hieght on fox

[Got Boost?]

whats the max tire hieght a stock fox can support, and also whats the most width it can support? we are talking about a tire on a 15 inch rim here too

[QWKSNKE]

Are we talking street tire or a race tire

drag radials, possibly ET streets...

any responses? i believe i can run 295 wide max now what about hieght, will 28's fit, what do you recomend?

[ncontt]

what gear are you using? This will have an effect on what rpm you run at the big end too....but I think you should be able to fit a 295, not too sure on a 28" though, backspacing of your rims may have an effect as well...

i plan on 4:10 or 4:30 and ill reply with the backspacing on the tires

[Got Boost?]

5.5 backpacing

[ncontt]

I "think" depending on what width rim you use that the 5.5 would be ok, I know on my 18's the back spacing is 24 mm...which is around 6 inches I "think", with 10.5 wide I would think you'd want to go with a 6.5 BS...

of course I am NO tire/wheel expert...
YMMV

Do you have drum brakes or disc brakes on the rear. What size wheel? 15x8, 15x10....... Do you have lowering springs?

I have 28x12.5in ET Streets, they are actually 10.5ins wide. I have a 4in backspace on my car but I will be goin to 6in whenever I can find some. I didnt even have to roll my fenders either.

i think im going to go ahead and stick to a 26, shouldnt hurt rpms with a steep gear too bad. i would go 27.5 or 27 but those tires have less or more width than i want

I test fit these on my car..

295-40-18's & they fit.. I have a LMM lowering kit.

..but it hits the lip.. I'm runnin 26's & it's all good, but it all depends on your suspension setup..

thats white fox looks SWEET with those bullits, i have no idea how you managed to clear 18 inch deep dish bullits, didnt think anything over 10 wide would fit

Frikin NICE ride
