So what does your fox look like today!!!!!

Reply #495 –
I have seen the name on offroad racing trucks but don't know much about the tires. I am trying to decide what to put on my 10 hole wheels. I am going to go with 225/60s all the way around. I was thinking about getting BFG Radial T/As. I can get T/As for $125 each mounted and balanced locally. The 295/50 fills out the wheel well nice.

That's what they say. They are big tires. It is interesting that one tire manufacturer will have a 295/50 but not a 275/50. Another manufacturer will sell a 275/50 but not a 295/50. BFG sells a 245/60 were most tire manufacturers don't. You wonder what the method to there madness is.

I know they have 5 different drag radials in the 275/50 but no street tires seems to me it's a popular size

Got dome new shoes 295/50/15


That's it!  I'm putting my stock springs back in the rear so I can go to a larger tire!  Running 245/60's now and they rub when someone is setting in the back seat.
 That is a super sweet ride.  Did you just leave off the side molding from the front bumper to the rear bumper?

Have you thought about swapping your axles with mustang axles (they are 3/4" shorter).I am running p255/60r15 in the rear w/4.500 backspacing.

Hadn't thought of that. Can it be done with the TC rear w/ disc brakes? That what I'm running.

Yes I made some aluminum pieces for the transition.

Hey Dan I kept my drum brakes when we put the TC rear in. We had to cut some of the mounts off from the rear disc set up but then just put the drums back on. I have axles from a 91 Mustang Gt in it now. Even with the 7.5 axles in it and being lowerd my tirse were rubbing the inner fenders. But with the mustang axles it was better. Now I'm back to stock height.
