Tire Size on a fox body..

[fst89302]

I just had a quick question on what all needs to be done on fitting a 28x10.5 tire under a 85 Mustang. I've been told that all I need to do is roll the quarter lips but then I've had some people say I need to trim the quarters to fit it.

Any help would be great!!!

roll and have a large hammer

x2... what size wheel and back space?

 

[Outlaw5.0]

Most common is the 15x8 with 5.5 backspace, the next is the 15x10 with 6.5 backspace.

with a 15x8 rim u just roll the quarter but with a 15x10 6.5 backspacing and a 28x10.5 slick you have to beat the inside with a hammer and roll the lips and soforth and on my uncles 82 hatchback he uses these wheel spacers

15x8 rim. I just talked to pacecarbbc and he is going to be doing the work for me when I'm ready.

Thanks for the help guys.

roll the lip.

28X10.5 use a 15X10 with a 6.5 back space and a BFH to get it to fit,

or get it to hook with a 26X9 and not have to beat the crap out of the inner wheel well!

roll the lip.

x2 That should be all you have to do to fit a 15x8.

x2 That should be all you have to do to fit a 15x8.

i had to be mine in with a 28x 10.5 on a 8" wide wheel to get it to fit.
