15x7" will fit fine in the front of a 4 lug fox, correct? What size tires would be best? What bs do I need?

I want 15x10" in the rear with a 26" ET street. I know I'd have to roll the fenders. Do I need to do anything else or will just the roll suffice? The quad shocks are NOT on the car any longer if that matters. What bs should I go with for a 15x10?

Anyone running a 15x9" wheel in the rear?

What bs would I need for a 15x8 wheel in the rear?

Rear wheel backspacing:

15 x 8 = 5.5"

15 x 9 = 6.0"

15 x 10 = 6.5"

I'm sure 15 x 7 will fit on the front but I'm not sure about bs.

15x10 with 6.5" BS (as stated above) will fit, the inner fenderwells will need to be massaged and the lips may or may not need to be rolled depending upon ride height. I had them done on my LX, but my GT cleared fine (it sat a lil higher).

i ran 26x11.5x15 ET Streets (bia ply) on my GT, fit and worked very well.

What exactly do I need to do to "massage" them?

The car is on drag springs so it sits a bit higher in the back.

Anyone know what bs I need for the 15x7 up front? WHat size ET street do I need for a 15x8" wheel?

beat them so that you have clearance between the tire and the inner fenderwell.

No idea what bs for the 15x7 up front, whatever the stock BS is should work fine since they are 7" wide wheels. You can always measure that.

The 26x11.5 or 26x 10.5 ET Street will both work on a 15x8 wheel

Looks like 4.5 bs is correct for the front of a fox with a 15x7" wheel. Looks like 15x7" SUmmit Star wheels come in 4.75 bs. Will this still be ok?
