i have heard that you can run a 15x10 in the back of a fox is this true? what would have to be done first to put that big of a rim in the back with out rubing? i though i wanted to run 295's out back with 5.5 bs(i dont want to put my car in the ditch again due to no traction) i fell in love with the 200 Cragar SS 5 rims and am gonna go 5-lug asap so i can run them (since the stock turbine rims make me puke....)also how hard is it to go 5-lug? i want to put in a new eaton 31 spline diff and axles while i am there. what would be the easiest way to swap it over????

You can run a 10" rim in the back, but chances are that size rim and the right sized tire for will rub somewhere at sometime.

I've run both 5.5" BS and 6.5" BS (currently) -- the 5.5 will most likely rub on the fenderlips, the 6.5 will likely rub on the inner fenderwells. Other thigns they may rub on are exhaust, quad shocks (can't run them with 6.5 BS), and other stuff since each car is different. They may not rub all the time either -- maybe only on hard bumps or certain turns, etc.

I just put 245's on the back of mine, and I am about 1/4" away from my exhaust, and bout an inch away from the quads.
