Here is my 89 notchback with:
Fronts: 15x8 Bassett rims (5 inch backspace), 235/60/15 BFG radial TA.
Rear: 15x8 Bassett rims (5 inch backspace), 255/60/15 BFG radial TA.
These wheels are not exactly popular on Fox's (there is only ONE other pic of Bassett wheels on a fox as far as I know). But for the odd few who have wondered what it'd look like (and more than just one has asked)
Rears:
- do not stick out, though would probably hit fender lip over a heavy bump.
- small raised lip on brake drum bore had to be machined off as otherwise, wheel would not mount flush with drum.
Fronts:
- sticks out a tiny bit. Of ALL the rim size/backspace options offered for this wheel, this is the closest I could keep from sticking out past the fender lips. I should have at least gone with 225/60/15 tires and 15x7's though it would have still barely stuck out. Shorter A arms would be ideal.
- front brake pad backing plate had to be grinded (around the hole where the calliper bolt goes through).
