335's on a fox

[281cammer]

Lets talk mini-tubs.(Yes I did a search) I'd toying with the idea of 335's on back of my notch. I'm running 17x9 Saleen knockoff's currently. I'd like to go to a 17x12/13 or a 18x12/13. I already know that for wheels, just send the wheels to Weldcraft and letting them widen them. Will I be able to fit the 335 with just mini-tubbing? If so about how much am I looking? est? Haven't decided to keep the 17's or up to 18's. Not the big issue on hand anyway. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Steve

Do you mind posting a few pics of your car. Reason I ask, is that have a black notch, and I like the Saleens, but DO NOT want 18's because of tires prices. I would like to see how the 17's look. I know when an original wheels is an 18, and when they down size it to 17, it looks different. I was just curious how those look, since I have a black notch too.

On your 335's...There was a post on www.modularfords.com and I just spent 30 minutes looking for it. But this guy put 345's on his 93 Cobra, but I don't remember if he did mini-tubs. I would say 315's max on a 10 inch wheel, and you still need to remove quads, and beat the crap out of the well. Pony R's would be the best wheel since he has the correct offset and backspacing to fit your fox.

I think you can fit 335's with mini tubs. You WILL have to have the backspacing perfect though.

I am planning on making my own tubs, but TeamZ, wolfe, and others make them prefit for about $150. You can also get a coil over setup from the same companys that already has the mounting brackets for a Stang... But the kits are well over $600.

When you mini tub you will see where you can notch the frame rail to gain even more clearance. I would do this, and add supports.

Only picture I have of the car actually. I'm 30 and got my first digi cam like 2 weeks ago.

Found the 5.0 article on the car, that put this idea in my head years ago. His car has 345/30/18's on it, so I think that's what size I'm going to plan for.

Yeah, that yellow car is the car that I got the idea from years ago. Yeah they are 18x12's He's my hero!!

 

[281cammer]

Here is another notch with the tires I want. Mainly needing to know if standard minitubbing will fit these tires?

Does anyone have any more info on this car ?

 

[7upstang91]

um i want to do that to my Notch. I was thinking 315s myself. But what the heck 335s would be fine. That has to be the sickest notch i have ever seen!

 

[90lxcoupe]

ive seen hatchbacks with 315's on them without minitubs, but i believe that was on a 9 inch rim.

i think the guys username was bert306

SVT32... I completely agree with the drool
What is the widest tire that people are fitting on the rear without doing tubs?

 

[7upstang91]

Ive seen 315's on Notch but it must be dumps. You have to take off the quad shocks. There has to be so bending and a little bit of cutting. I would say a few hours of work. But its worth it.
