Glad others here like the look too. As for the back drums: the hole/bore in the middle has a small lip, which just BARELY prevents the bassett wheel from mounting flush to the mounting face of the drum. One solution would be to machine the bore of the wheel to be larger, but I chose to have...

200$ to narrow the pair. Their balancer did not have a proper lug centric adapter, but they tried and no vibration issues so far. Runout on the wheels was around .03 to .045 either way, so I am happy with the job.

Narrowed the fronts (professionally) to give better calliper clearance. Now fronts are 15x7 with 225/60's. Hard to tell from earlier pic, but previous fronts gave a 4x4 look.. Much better stance now, tires stick out less

Just curious, does anyone know if an 82-86 caliper would fit on an 87-93 rotor/spindle? I wonder because the 82-86 calliper has the same size piston, yet a lower profile for better clearance...

Yes, that would give the clearance, but to move the calliper outside of the ``narrow part" of the rim I described about, I'd have to space the wheel out by about 3/4''. The wheel already sticks out a hair, and I'd really like not too make it even worse.

I changed the wheels to Basset Wheels as in my earlier post: Bassett Wheels On Fox.. | Mustang Forums at StangNet The rim size and backspace are fine. The problem is that despite being a ``15'' rim", the narrowest part of the rim shell is only a little more than 12'' which is narrower than...

I just checked the clearance between by front callipers and inner wheel rim, and it is about .01'' !!! (I know this because I measured the thickest piece of cardboard that I could fit under there) I'd like at least 1/16'' of clearance for comfort, and for that to happen I'll have to grind the...

I should have posted in this thread instead of creating a new one at: Bassett Wheels On Fox.. | Mustang Forums at StangNet Anyways, some more backspacing options from Bassett have become available since the last posting above in case anyone here is still interested (after all this time).

Here is my 89 notchback with: Fronts: 15x8 Bassett rims (5 inch backspace), 235/60/15 BFG radial TA. Rear: 15x8 Bassett rims (5 inch backspace), 255/60/15 BFG radial TA. These wheels are not exactly popular on Fox's (there is only ONE other pic of Bassett wheels on a fox as far as I know)...

I can't get a pic of my car at the moment. The area I'd like to grind are the holes/loops in the backing plates shown here: Mustang Front Brake Pads - Stock Replacement (87-93) 5.0 The loops don't bear any load. The calliper bolts go through these loops, and this only serves to keep the pads...

I hope I am posting in the right forum, anyways, my front outer brake pad blacking plate is scraping the inside of my new wheels! I am wondering is anyone had this issue? In particular, I am wondering 1. is it safe to grind the backing plate (the hole where the calliper bolt slides through)...
