? Regarding Rim size on Fox with SN-95 8.8?

[red347lx]

I have a fox with a 8.8 from a sn95. What tire size and backspacing looks the best with this combination? I would love to see some photos of cars and how they sit with this set up. Thanks Fellas any help is appreciated.

Gonna depend on how wide of a rim you want to use. And how much you are willing to massage the fender lips (outer specifically).

And unless I'm mistaken, the SN95 rear housing is the same as the fox, but axles are 3/4" longer to accommodate the ABS exciter rings.

With those assumptions in place, I've run 8" wide rims with 5.72" backspacing and a 245 tire with SN95 axles in my fox. I rolled the fender lips (wasn't really necessary) and the tire sits right where it should (laterally) relative to the rear fender.

I switched back to fox length axles (with SN95 hub diameter and five lug) so I could run 9" wide rims (5.98" backspacing) and 275 tires.

I think the issue you may encounter will be finding a rim with enough backspacing when you push the axle the extra 3/4" with that axle length. But it's been a while since I looked at what rim offerings were out there.

Not sure if any of this helps or not.

PM me an email address and I can send you some pics of several configurations.

Come by and look at mine! SN95 length axles with 8" and 245's. Eibach Pro-Line's. Not sure what the BS is on these wheels, but we can measure them. Absolutely no tire rubs. Seems like room for bigger tires, but not much!!

I will do that, maybe Friday evening. I saw you driving thru town yesterday evening, looks good man!
