I was wondering if anyone is successfully running 10.5 wide rear rims on their fox with little to no body mods.

Let me know sizes including tire size,backspacing and offset. (or just brand)

Specifically Im looking for people running AFS 10.5's

I saw a 92 gt vert running 10.5s at WFC 10. He was running a .500 spacer, had rolled the lip, massaged the inner wheel well, no quads, and coilovers for clearance. To be perfectly honest the GT hardtop that was sitting beside it with 18x9s tucked under it with 285 35s looked much better with much less work! And the wheel lip difference was minimal if any.

I run a 10" wheel on my LX and did on my GT too. Like stated above, seriously massaged inner fenderwell and possible rolling/trimming the fender lip depending upon tire size and how the car sits, and no quad shocks.

if you had a 10" wheel what tire size can you run successfully because i had weld draglites before that were 10" with 275 60 and i feel i can go wider maybe 285 or so but not sure

I currently run the 10" Welds w/BF Goodrich T/A's in the 295 size. It fits, but it's tight. Slight rubbing when not taking a bump square with the rear end.
