Fox + 10" Rear Wheels. What brand exhaust fits for tail pipes?

[JustaMustangguy]

Hello, I'm looking for anybody with experience with mounting a 10" wide rim on the rear of a fox body. Now the specs are: 18x10 285/35 wheel w/ +22mm offset, and fox length rear track. What exhaust tips/cat-back will fit with the set up or a very similar setup in your experience? I'm not looking for other options or varitions(such as turn downs, etc). Just looking to see if anybody has made tail pipes fit properly with this setup. I'm willing to mix and match mufflers/flow tubes/and tail pipes to get it to work. Any information would be awesome. Thanks!

I beleive the Flowmaster 3" kit has it's tailpipes bent differently to clear larger wheels in the rear. I think i can remember one member here installing the kit and putting 18x10's out back. I think it was 25thMustang, but i could be wrong

1990coupe I think thats his screen name, (sorry Justin I'm awful with them)...

He runs 3" Flowmaster tails with pelenty of room. I had them on for a short time and they fit great.

My Notch has 17X10" wheels with a 24mm offset & 275/40/17 BFG's in the rear. My tailpipes are 2 1/2", & are either Flowmaster or Dynomax, but I'm not 100% sure because they were on the car when I bought it & have weld in Magnaflows. They fit great with no rubbing at all....

My buddy also has a Notch with 18X10 FR500's with a 22mm offset & 275/35/18 BFG DR's. He is running a 2 1/2" Bassani catback with no issues...

1990coupe has them on his car. FLowmasters. They fit. That's the way you wanna go. Off brand tails and cat-backs are what you have to worry about. I got sent cheap **** from a local performance parts store and they rubbed my tires on a stock 17X8 wheel with a 245. I was so pist. And that store....yeah....they're outta business for shotty deals!!!

Yep I'm the one running flowmaster 3" pipes with a 10" rim. They fit beautifully and have tons of room - and look different then 99% of every other LX fox out there.

hard to see in this pic

i'll take some better pics once the snow melts.

How far does the stainless go behind the tire , it looks like it stops a few inches short.

There is part of the pipe that is visible that is not polished. That bothers me the most. I hate the fact that there is a section that you can see that is not polished. I've been toying with either polishing it myself, or painting it black with hi-temp paint to kind of hide it. Not sure yet though which way i want to go.

Polished... I wanted to do that too if I kept mine.

I have regular old 2.5" Flowmaster tails with a 275/40-17 tire and I had to use zip ties on the exhaust hangers to pull the tails away from the tire, otherwise it would have rubbed on both sides. Every car and every exhaust system is going to be different, you just kind of have to play with it and you'll get it to work.

Had I assembled the exhaust AFTER I installed the wheels, I probably could have welded it differently so that the tails were closer to the gas tank and farther from the wheels.
