Maybe its just the condition of the rims, or maybe its the angle/quality of the picture, but ...well yeah i just threw up a little too
The sight of these wheels make me want to puke!

am i the only one on stangnet that with the exception of a few 4 eye foxs from 85 jus truly discounts the fox body's existence prior 87? jus truly tasteless styling and awful performance. although a kid i used to know had an incredibly clean 85 gt that was like showroom new.

Heh...i've got an '85, wanna race?
In stock form ALL the Fox bodies were pretty tame in the performance department, it all comes down to what you put into them.
I had a set of those on my Stang before. They were old and hard compound so they let my car slide around like a Dukes of Hazard stunt car. but still had 50% tread.
The tire measurements were 220-55R390. 390mm is the rim size. 390mm/25.4mm = 15.3inches
All the shops told me that a tire would not stretch to get over a rim by .3 extra inches.
I was going to chuck them up in a lathe and turn them down but then I decided that I did not want a bead flying apart during a hard cornering maneuver.
I left them in the JY because tires were impossible to find for those rims.
Now I rock Turbines on my Stang because I think they look great.

haha yes my car was a total turd before i built it up. race? hmmm. my car is apart right now. but when it is youd probably still beat me your car is quite quick right? lol i have a pretty basic trickflow hci set up with track heat spring upgrades an all supporting upgrades. its plenty fast for me. for now. one of my good friend who also has a 90 lx hatch like me is building a 347 with paxton novi 2000 so after driving and riding in his car ill be wanting more power for sure.85_SS_302_Coupe said:Heh...i've got an '85, wanna race?

LOL, i figured you'd see that. I'll bracket race anyone...i can run 14.7s in my sleep, best is 14.25 and i ran it back to back twice but i know i can pedel it to an easy 14.7 because i've done it 3 in a row on several occasions. I'm pretty consistant with a 5 speed
Oh, and i've got some '69 351W heads that are ported and polished to hell and back if i ever get around to getting them on.
