fox body rear wheel

[bonnie&clyde]

i did a search and didnt find anything on this, but what is the widest wheel i can go with in my 93gt. i currently have 275/35/18 18x9's

I know you can fit a 10" wide wheel in there, a 10.5" wheel could be pushing it.

[VaderTT]

Lots of people (even some on here) fit a 10.5 wheel and a 315. 275 is good, but 315 requires a little BFH. <--oxymoron?

[bonnie&clyde]

do yall think i could get a 315 on a 9.5 inch wheel?

[VaderTT]

You can! Is it optimal? No. But it's doable for sure. What is the wheels back spacing/offset?

[bonnie&clyde]

backspacing is 6inches i dont know what the off set is, thinking about getting some MT ET street radials

[bonnie&clyde]

if i have to ill just have my wheel widened*

[VaderTT]

Do you have quad shocks still? Do you care about beating the inner wheel wells with a hammer? And the wheels measurements will dictate whether you can have them widened, generally they only widen the inner side of the wheel not the face.

you would have ALOT of sidewall buldge..imo a 295 tire is the most i would go on a 9.5''

im asking this question because im debating whether or not to mini tube the car to get a fatter tire, this is just a street car so i dont really need anything excessively fat

[VaderTT]

Are you looking for a drag setup/dr's ? or just more traction with a wider street tire?

just more traction with a wider street tire, i would like to keep the fr500's i have on there now but with a wider tire

Prob 275. I ran 275/45/17s on my 88 and I had to remove the quads and do about 5min of clearancing.

noice, what about wheel width/bs? i might end up fender rolling to get 295s in if i can. hah
