Hey i was curious if anyone on here has deep dish rear wheels on their fox? Im wanting some but want to know what i i need to do to keep them from rubbing or if i can put them on with out any modifying? My fox is lowered roughly 2"

 

will this do you any good ?

offset will be key. 10 inch of anywheel will rub w/o beating the inner part of the rear and rolling teh fender. some 9 inch wheels will also rub w/o rolling the fenders and removing the quads is needed most of teh time or flipping them.your 2" drop is going to be factor in the selection. For some more help on this from a larger pool check out corral.net and go to the wheel/tire section. hundreds of posts on this subject to pull from and having another resource doesn't hurt ( but make sure you come back )

 

ok ive heard the terms "fender rolling" before what does that mean tho?
i really want to do a prostreet look with this fox

 

Fender Rolling- if you go to the rear wheel well and carefully ( semi-sharp edges) run your hand on the inner fender wheel well around the circumference you will feel the lip... It's at approx 90degrees to the fender ... What the guys are talking about is rolling that lip (folding it over on itself) to create clearance for larger tires. Guys have been doing this for ages!
This is a process that has been done with a baseball bat for years... Have to know what your doing... They make specialty tools to do a much cleaner job now... Go to Eastwood and check out the fender rolling tool!

 

awesome thanks, and if i was to have this done what is a fair price to expect?

 

I don't know what a fair price is but it is a good idea to warm the paint up with a heat gun ( don't burn it) to keep the paint from cracking. cracking the paint can happen when rolling the edge. some combos are just going to require fender rolling period but will clear the inner fender area. almost all 10" wheels and some 9" with certian offsets or wide tires might need some massaging of the inner fender in the rear. The eastwood tool is the best some members have let others borrow/rent them for each other but maybe some shops that do hot rods would have one vs a regular body shop.

I used to have 9" wheels with 275/40s in the back and 255s in the front iirc that I had to flip the quads, and push on the tails a little to move them and the lip was really close. I sold them along time ago.

 

I read a few thingsthat mentions removing quads, are quads the extra shocks? Im new to the fox bodys. And also all said use a bfh to work the inter rear wheel well. I just really want this fox to have the prostreet look

 

The wheels i want are on latemodelrestoration.com there 17x8 for front and 17x10 rear their saleen replicas, eventually id like to tub the rear end and do some real fat 15" rears but im wanting to just get a better looking wheel for now but wanted to see what all was involved for install

 

The 10" rear saleens are nice but you will need to beat in the inner fender in teh rear, remove the quads ( the small shocks on the rear axles) and check your tail pipes and I'm 99.9% sure you will have to roll the fender. guys who run the same wheel but 9" with big meats remove the quads & roll the lip for sure, I know with the 10" the inner needs to done for sure.

 

Well no longer live on the dirt road so that body kit ive had in the building can get ready to be installed if it would cool off a little out side, thanks for ghd info on deep dish i definatly want some

 

what body kit you have?
