Biggest tire and rim on a fox?

[TweekedGT]

Hey guys, I just got some weld 15x10 prostars and need to know if they will fit. I am quite sure they will but what size rubber can you put on them? The car has no exhaust and i'm going to take off the quad shocks because I have Lakewood traction bars and Maximum motorsport lower control arms and FRPP uppers. I cant test the rim because we've pulled the whole rearend out to change to 35 splines and a spool. What rubber should i get? Gonna be a pretty much full racecar with little street duty, even without the exhaust.

what is the back spacing on the rim

If its 6.5" BS it will fit with some fenderwell hammering. I run a 275/60 with no issues.

They're 15 x 10 x 4.5

a 10" wide rim with a 4.5 bs? they'll fit easily, but they're going to stick out for sure

I think with a SN95 you can get away with 5.5" bs but deff not 4.5.

A pony wheel has more back spacing than that! It will be a full 2" outside the wheel well. On a 10" wheel I would run a 315 drag radial.

I'm pretty sure my 96 has a 4.5 backspacing and I run 315's on 10.5" rims and they don't stick out. What are most guys running that do 5 lug swaps? Don't you guys get just 5 bolt rims that fit the new style stangs? They don't stick out at all do they?
