hey guys i was wondering how wide of a rim and tire you are fitting on the front and back of your foxbodies. i use to run a 295/40/15 on my old one and rubbed going into driveways, but that could of been the offset.

295 seems lawful wide for a Fox, I would think 275 is the upper limit

the only reason i was think 295/50 15 is cause i cant find 275/50 15 they all come in 275/60 15 and i would like the white writing on the tire

I always found 275/60/15 to be the best tire for the rear. BFG radial t/a used to come in that size and will come white lettered.
