I used 1995 stuff on the front and rear for the 5 lug conversion and for the
rear disc brakes. The 95 disc brakes are a nice up grade for a Fox

Fantastic work, I love seeing this kind of thing...saving another one from the junk yard! More pics!

They look like they fit pretty good. I would have thought there would be too much backspacing on the rims.

I was curious if he used spacers.


Build looks great!

I didn't use any spacers,, When I first went to a 5 lug I used fox length "Ranger" axles in the rear.
When I put these 235/55/17 on they rubbed on the inside just a touch in a hard turn.
A little pounding with a hammer on the inner fender well would have taken care of it.
But when I installed the longer SN-95 axles that cured the problem. I the front the tires will
just touch on the last 1/8 of a turn if I cut the wheel all the way. But,, I'm still running a 4cylinder
rack and pinion and I'm told that they have no stops like the V-8's do I don't know if this is true
or not I'm planing on making a set of stops. For now I just have gotten use to it and don't crank
the wheel all the way and hold it like when I'm parking or something.
And that 235/55/17 is a huge tire for the front of a Fox
Does anyone know what the backspacing on these factory wheels is? There 17x8
