Ive got a built fox width rear and want to put a decent size tire under it. A 28" for sure, just dont know what size wheel and width to run.

Im thinking a 295/55-15 or 325/50-15 M/T ET Street Radial on a 15x10.

Not sure on what backspace id need though. Anyone know
 
my rear end was cut short when I went with 9" ends so about 3/4 of an inch short. pretty sure an Sn95 fits the same tire as a new edge. I'm using a 15x10 6.5 backspace with a 325/50/15 MT drag radial I have to use a .5 spacer my new rims I'm getting 15x10 with 6" backspace so i can lose the spacer.

hope it helps a bit. I didnt need the spacer before the 9" ends went on.

the 295/55 is a tall tire close to 30" I think that might be a bit close.
(WAS THINKING THE 315 TIRE SO THIS IS WRONG)

I have the original width rear in my car with 325/50/15 MTs on 15x10 6.5 bs wheels

There is still about 1 1/4" on the backside and the tires rub a little on the outer edge.

While I get the rear built I am going to try to narrow it to the 94-98 size and I should be fine
or I may just get a 7"bs wheel

iirc the overall track width is +3" for the new edge compared to the fox which is 1.5 per side
This would require going from a 6.5 bs to a 5" for the current spacing on my car

But being I want them tucked a little more a 5.5bs should be about perfect

Here are 325/50/15 MT on 15x10 6.5bs

New edge, Sn95, and foxs all have different width. I believe the New edge is the widest of them. Im not sure what the correct bs / wheel an tire size you need. I do know ive seen people shove fox axles under those cars with the wrong bs and it looks like hot garbage.
