8.8 ?

[Bluemule]

Will an 8.8 rear out of a 2003 mustang fit under a fox body Fairmont with just a different off set of the wheels? Thanks

It should bolt right in. It'll be wider than the fox axle though

I figured it would. Just wanted to see if maybe someone has done it and all I need is rims with a different back spacing.

Depends on what wheels you have now.

If you have stock 5 lug wheels they should line up with the rear quarter panel lip.

The axles are 3/4 inch longer than fox...

'99-'04 are actually 1.5 inches per side.....from a drum brake fox setup..

The 94-98 axles are 3/4" wider than Fox.

Thanks for the responses. Will the rear disc set up work with a 15 inch rim or do I need something bigger?

I think it will work. Depends on the wheel. I ran a pair of Ranger steer wheels on the rear of my 1996 for snow. They were either 14 or 15"
