jumping over here to the fox guys for help on this one. i have a 00 GT and as of last night, i now have a 90 GT. this is my 3rd fox but have always wanted to do the weld setup and never have ( or even summit's fast 5 wheel ) . i need some pointers on what offset and bs to get. i am not opposed to skinnies on the front but rather not. i'll be keeping it 4 lug. 8's in the back? what about in the front? what tire sizes? i do not want a drag radial. something that fills up the fenderwell but not too thick of a sidewall. car will stay at factory ride height. pro stars are my 1st choice but rod lites and drag lites are a possibilty.

thanks for the advice guys. pics would be great!

15x8 with a 5.5" bs on the back... you looking to do skinnys? or a full size front?
id personaly do a 275/50/15 on the back and a 165R15 on a 15x4 front

Agree..I have the same with a 3.5 front wheel. Draglites. If you want something a little less hassle out back do a 255/60/15 but mine are 275/50/15 and with a 5.5 bs you will have to MASSAGE the inner fender a little but the outside lip will be just fine stock.
