Fox body help

Rory McNeil · 07-14-2012, 03:18 AM

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.
