Re: 30" tires on a FOX?
Joakim, keep in mind that the 9x28" M/T slicks are actually a bit less than 27 1/2" tall. On my 85 Mustang, I run the M/T 9x29 1/2" slicks on 15x8 Weld Draglites with 5 1/2" BS. Like Westcoast said, the front & rear wheel openings will need to be trimmed or folded over quite a bit for the height. On my 85, the inner rear wheel wells also needed a fair bit of hammer time to clear the sidewall bulges. I just bought a pair of 15x9 Draglites, also with 5 1/2" BS, but I haven`t mounted them yet. I have heard of some guys running a 15x10" rim with 6 1/2" BS, but I would imagine that they would require much more hammer bashing to the inside to clear. As for the GT plastic body skirts, I would imagine that some cutting would be required to clear the 29 1/2 or 30" tall tires, but the 28`s should easily clear.
