Biggest tires size on a 1987 fox body Mustang
Hey all,
So im looking at upgrading rims on my 87 5.0 Fox what is the widest tire I can fit in the front and in the back. :tup |
245 on the front rubs but works any wider and the shitty turning radius of these cars gets worse mind you it is goign to depends on how low the car is width of rim backspace etc etc
for the rear 275 is a push, 285 will fit with more messaging .... rolling the lip is a very good idea again rim dependent etc but i have had this work on more than one car over the years on the rear if yoru still running quad shocks. you may have to invert them |
not sure about the fronts, but the backs u can go 28 x 12.5 with a little bit of work!
|
^ what is that in non drag racing size?
|
that is a bias ply size, for a radial you can go 295/50 R 15's! which is 28 x 12 I believe. M/T just came out with that size a little while ago.

I run a 28x10x15 with 5.5 b.s no prob.

5.5 will work as well, but 6.5 tucks it in a bit more...your best bet is to measure everything yourself as every car is different. The basic rule of thumb is 15x8 with 5.5 bs, and 15x10 6.5 bs, but others have found different combo's that work for them. That's the reason why I say measure yourself!

i plan on buying 295/50 15 this week not sure how its gunna fit but hope fully with not much work what do u guys think thanks
|
hope all goes well
