will this wheel tire combo work on a fox?
i know 8" wide wheels sometimes rub at full lock if the backspacing isn't the allowed size, but thats not what i'm worried about.
i want to know if you can fit a 275 tire on a 17x8 rim, and if the 275 will fit under the fox. i've think i've heard that 255 is the max you can go with under a fox...

Re: will this wheel tire combo work on a fox?
are we talking fronts? If so, then no. You can run a 275 out back with the right backspacing though

The 275 will go under the rear with the lips rolled.

Re: will this wheel tire combo work on a fox?
A 275 will easily fit in the back - the front is a different story...

Re: will this wheel tire combo work on a fox?
You can run a 9", but backspacing has to be perfect, and you MIGHT have to roll the lips.
A 255/40 MIGHT fit up front, but it'll be close...

Re: will this wheel tire combo work on a fox?
so i would suppose 245's would fit fine...i just want as much tread touching as possible...8 inch wide is skinny enough

Re: will this wheel tire combo work on a fox?
The '93gt currently has 9" rims all the way around.
Do not remember what tire size I put on them though 17"x__x__ will have to look after while to see.
