I might get some 28/12.5/15's mounted on 15x8.5 with 3.5" backspacing wheels (rear) Can I fit this without problems? I have adjustable coilovers and quads removed...Will this make the wheel stick way out or give it a badass look?
i had but on 15x10s with 6.5 backspace..where a tight fit,,i suggest getting what a have now dont get 3.5 backspace whatever you do ,i had 15x8s on that 28x12.5 tire tire didnt all contact the ground,,i got hoosiers quick time pro hook better than my 28x12.5 ,,the size is 27x11.5x15..they will work on a 8.5 rim with 5.5 backspace with no problem,,i know because i always do it wrong the first time too..... my 15x10s 6.5 b/s with 27x11.5x15 hooks 1.5 60ft times,,10.59@130mph.with the help of nitrous...
12.50 is overkill. I know several people going mid 9's on a smaller tire. I know a 28x11.50 will fit tight...with a ton of back spacing.....I'm not sure you can stick a 12.50 under a fox body without mini-tubing. Also, I think an 8.5" wheel would be too small. In fact, an 8.5" wheel would be really good for a 10" tire.
