What all do you need to put 315 in the back of a 93 fox?

more room!

Get rid of the quad shocks,so probably new control arms. hope it isn't lowered. Someone was running 315's with the tails still on but most get rid of them because they will rub. Do a search, I can't remember who it was that ran them.

probably will depend on the brand you run. Nitto's run small, so running Nitto 315's would be close to running BFG 295's I'd estimate (I've heard Nitto 275's are like BFG 255's, so I just did the math).

I've only seen one picture of a fox w/ 315's. I think it was a coupe, white if I remember correctly and those tires are HUGE!. I think he had to mini tub it. My 275's rub a little (I think on the inner fender w/ the back side of the tire) when I go up a very steep incline at an angle w/ any speed. BFG 315's are almost a full 1.6" wider than my 275's, so have fun w/ that. I'd assume flaring the fenders will be mandatory.

The only way to get around mini-tubbing that I can see is if you used a small backspace and had the wheels stick out from the fenders like an inch and a half, which would look stupid in my opinion.

Hissing Cobra has 295 BFG's on the back of his 79 and I think all he had to use was an air bag on one side, so that might be an option w/ 315 Nitto's, but 315 BFG's will probably require more than that.

Good luck

a MIRACLE.

I'd say just about all the big dog cars you see with 315ish size tires out back are probably mini-tubbed.
