Re: 15x8 rims work on a fox?
yes they will work.
What kind of tires? Track setup or regular street radials?

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.

Re: 15x8 rims work on a fox?
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

Re: 15x8 rims work on a fox?
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?
