Fox body help
 

Need some help gang, will a 30" slick fit on a 93 fox body ???

Re: Fox body help
 

Not unless you do major surgery. Both inside the wheel well and the quarter panel would need modified. Correct backspacing and wheel spacers are still needed for a 28x9 M/T on my car, as the tire is inside the wheel well. The 79-93 are the same shell. If you need any more help let me know.

I run the 30x9" Hoosier radial on my '87, just one thing you need to make it work. 10# hammer will do the trick.

Re: Fox body help
 

All depends on the roll out of the tire. You need something with a short roll out if you dont want to do any major surgery.

Sean, are you running the 10" wheel? I run an 8 1/2"

Re: Fox body help
 

10" with 6.5" BS.
29.5x9 fit with this wheel after painting the car.

29.5 radial fits but very tight ... slow when you turn trust me

Re: Fox body help
 

10" wheel with 6" BS works great with drum brakes, and 6.5" BS for most disk brakes. Like others have said, BFH to the inner wheel well, and about an inch pie cut below the belt line in front and a half inch pie cut in the rear and you will be golden.

Others have run a 8" wheel with 5.5" BS with no cutting...

Thanks everyone for the help...

Re: Fox body help
 

I didn't want to trim mine any, so i stuck with 28's. 8" wheel, 5.5 bs.
What rear gear do you guys run with the 29.5 or 30's? - 5.13?

Re: Fox body help
 

4.56 in mine. i run the 8" wheel and had to trim the back of the wheel lip.

Re: Fox body help
 

On my M/S 85 Mustang, I normally run 5.13s with either 9x29-1/2 MTs, or 9x29 Hoosiers. It sure would be nice if somebody made Pro gears for the 8.8" Ford rearend, and also maybe a 5.38 ratio.
As for tire fitment, I dont know if the 87-93 Mustangs have larger rear wheel openings or not, but getting the 29.5 slicks on my 85 required some hammering on the inside, and cutting of the opening, front and rear. I am currently using 15x9 Weld Draglites with 5.5backspace.
