foxbody big/little setups

[scott5]

What kind of big and little setups do you guys have on your foxes? Size and back spacing of rim/tire size? Dont want to do any mini tubbing or cutting up anything so looking to see what i can fit without doing any cutting.. Car is too nice to cut up

Not sure what the front tire size is, but rims are 15 x 4. Rears are 15 x 8 5.5 b.s. with 275s on them. My set plus an extra set of 15 x 8 4.5 b.s. are for sale.Centers included.:D

All Pro-Stars :D 15 x 3 1/2" front, 1.75 BS with 165/80R-15's, Rears are 15 x 8, 5.5 BS and in that picture a 27-10.50-15 ET Street. On mine, you won't get any more back tire on there without more BFH action or lots of cutting.

i have 15/3 in the front and 15/10 with 6.5 back space with 28 11.50 QTP and they fit great i had too roll the lips in and beat in the wheel well and use a 5/16 spacer

15x5 in the front with 1658015's and 15x8 with 5.5. BS in the rear with what amounts to 27x10x15 Drag radials.

I think the best fit on the rears is a 15x9 with 6" BS, I'd run the 275/60 or new 295/55 (28x10) MT DRs. 15x10s with 6.5" BS/15x8s with 5.5" BS are the most common, but I still say the 9" is the best compromise.

you guys running et street radials?

Bob, your pics aint no good working

[biminiLX]

I am but its minitubbed and 325s :)
Bob is running the bias ply ET Streets.
Without minitubbing or beating on the car, the MT ET Street Radials would be 275/50 (26"), 275/60 (just under 28"), and 295/55 (NEW size like a 28x10").
How fast do you want to go and do you have any limits on sizes?
People have run insane times even in the 7s with the small 275/60 MT DRs.

Radials don't belong on a stick fox . J wanted the radials so he gave up on the stick part

LOL, man are you touchy about converting to the chick stick

Serious though, your car DID pull off the stick on radials thing and in your situation I would of done the same in a heartbeat.

haha, I hear ya, I'm just a stick guy at heart and this whole automatice thing will be completely new to me.
Only an 8 sec. pass will make it worth it
When will you be getting yours to the track? I'd need to smell some race gas and rubber soon.

I stroke everyone about the auto's but reality is I'm a fragged clutch away from the same issue .... $500.00 9" clutches :( I'm not even excited about local racing this year. I will likely be out sooner, but the first competion I'm excited about is the UMTR at QCR in late May ;)
