I had apost about my own rim issues about a week ago, does anyone know what the difference on the SVO spindles are from regular fox? the svo came with 5 lug and 4 wheel disc right away and was wodnering if that made fitment any different from other foxes? im also lowered 1.5-2 inches in the rear

svo spindles are the same as any other fox spindle fitment wise, as the wheel studs are on the rotor and not the hub like the 94+ spindles. afaik the efi v8 cars are the only ones with different spindles to accomadte the slightly larger brake diameter (svo may share this also as the rotor is the same size)

Not sure about that, this site for SVO's says otherwise
Will these Wheels fit my SVO? - SVOCA Forums

due to the fact the svo has a longer 7.5" axle 84 has 3.45 gears

but i have a 8.8 rear end with 3.73 so i really have no clue where that would leave me

i think its 8.8 rear end but it still has the stock 5 lug spindle and stock 4 wheel discs from the 84

i just wanted some fr500 17x9's but i jsut cant figure this stuff out, i dont want to buy the wrong size rim and or tire

I just wanted to put some badass wide tires on the back

you hate buying wheels try getting wheels to fit on baer brakes with the modified fox spindles we are talking any ford wheel not running the bearing cap and still need a quarter inch spacer to run the center caps

Here is my setup...5 lug 17X9 & 17X10 10th anni reps. The tires are 255/40/17, & 275/40/17. My fronts DO rub at full lock, but its actually the inner lip of the rim rubbing, not the tire... THe rear fenders had to be rolled & the inner fenders beat in a bit.... I am running 95 spindles up front, & ranger axles out back...

That looks really nice... and those are 8.5".

I'd think the same tire size will be just fine for the 8" Ford Racing 95 Cobra's.

THANKS PEOPLES!!
