will these fit? 295/65r15 bfg drag radials 93 fox

[project67]

i've got some 295/65r15 bfg drag radials and i want to know if anyone has run a tire this big on a stockish foxbody. i has eibach lowering springs on rear, fender lip isnt rolled (yet). any help appreciated as i dont know much about foxes.

 

[project67]

btw i can get a sweet deal on some stock 10 holes for these. let me know if this would work.

not a chance in hell... thats a 30" tire and its almost 12" wide...

 

[tannerc91gt]

Yes they will fit. But not on 10 holes and not in an unmodified wheel well.

ok, what wheel would i need? i was thinking 8-8.5" but idk the correct backspacing.

need ATLEAST a 10 inch wheel and your going to need mini tubs

ok i couldnt find any info frombfg, but for the same size mt et street radials, mt recommends 8.5" rims, but lists a range of 8-10"
so if i had a 8.5x15 wheel, any guesses on the correct backspacing?
i figure i would have to remove the quad shocks and roll the fender, hmm.
maybe i should pony up and buy some et streets of a smaller size...
nah that would be too easy.

is this because of the tire height being about 30"? because i found an article where 5.0 mustang and super fords installed 315/35r17 by rolling the fender and beating the inner with a sledge.

Good luck putting a 295 on a 8.5 inch rim............


I'd use 10s.

Ive had 295s on 10 holes, rubbed alot. but they were 60 ratio not 65.

dont know if the pic will work, but it is my old wheels/tires on my 67 they are 295/50r15 on a 15x8 cragar. it looked nasty from behind with those tires

 

[project67]

heres what I have now 275/60/15.

do these rub? what did you have to do?

 

[project67]

remeber-these will be for the strip only-bolt them on, drive 20 mins on fwy, race and come home.

 

[project67]

ok, there is a guy in the classifieds selling 295/65r15 with pics on his notch.
hes had to roll the fender and "adjust" the inner fender. i pm'd him regarding the wheel size/backspacing. thanks for the responses

 

[Tanus]

they rub a little under hard turns, sure a couple hits with a hammer could fix that but havent done that yet. they fit fine on a 7 inch wheel, give the car a nice stance too.

 

[project67]

i already had the wheels off for my gear swap this weekend, so i set one in the fenderwell just to get an idea...
