How to put 10 or10.5 rims on rear of fox

[88306stang]

How do you get 10 or 10.5 width rims on the back of a fox body mustang with out them sticking out. If any body has pics of fox body mustangs with this width wheel on the back please post them. Im thinking about trying to figure out how to put them on but im hoping for some ideas. Thanks

I was wondering this same thing myself, good question. I was going to stick w/ 17X9 but 17X10.5 would look drop dead sexy as long as they fit

Would love to know this aswell, i want to run 18x10.5 would be killer

I don't know much about Fox's ..... but I know a guy with one that runs 335's out back. He has special order rims, though .... and I think he mini-tubbed it.

only way is to tub it

 

[Venom351R]

how big can you go w/ out having to tub it?

I fit 17x9 cobra replicas on mine with a 1/4 inch spacer to prevent rubbing. Look good and fit fine.

Think you could put on 17X10 w/ 1/4 spacers w/ out any trouble?

awesome link thanks.

Looks like all you really need to make it work is a 94/95 rear end. The wheels Im looking at getting even say the best fit is on a 94-04 rear

Does any body have any pics of fox mustangs with 10 or10.5 wheels on them?

Id like to see some as well. Seems like a few guys on the corral link got it to work by doing it a few diffrent ways. I Just want to fit a 17X10.5 on the rear w/ out having to worry about rubbing the outer fender (a bit of fender rolling is ok w/ me) or having the inside of the tire/rim rubbing anything under the car like the exhuast or the suspension.

From what I can get out of it and tell me if Im wrong but it should work w/ a 94/95 rear end b/c of the added .75" on both ends and you might have to roll the fenders a bit correct?

I would like to see some pics if anyone has any, I just want to make sure it does not look to funny looking on the fox b/c of the wheels sticking out to much. All the pictures on the corral link were long gone.

Nice pics that looks good. So what exactly do you have for a set up to run the 10.5's out back? I have a 93 but I know the 91 and 93 are the same so I just want to know it will work before I go ahead with the project

10.5

im not really sure,i just bought the car,i know the bumper is a cobra,and the tires are 275/40/17 no scrubbing or anything

Are you sure the rims are 10.5's? I can tell but does it have a 5 lug conversion?

yeah there 10.5s on the back..i should have taken a pic from the rear,there wide,and its a 4 lug,i was going to buy chrome,but they are hard to find 10.5 and 4 lug...plenty of 5 lug rs tho in 10.5

How long have you had the car? Anyway you can get in touch w/ the previous owner and ask him how he set it up to run 10.5's on the back?
