Let's see what size wheel and tires everyone is running on their fox bodies. State what modifications you had to make for fitment if any and post some pics if you got them!

Have any of you had to use wheel spacers?

I'm trying figure out if I'll need spacers (after the 5-lug conversion), when I put some 05/06 take-offs on, (they have major backspacing).

I am running BF Goodrich EURO T/A's on 15 inch american racing rims - I am not to sure of the name of these rims though. Not the best wheel combo, but it's all I can afford on a student loan budget (got them for 500 bucks)

Glad to hear that. I have 245/40/18's on 18X9 rims and want to switch to the 275/35/18's in the rear but was concerned about fitment issues. I have Eibach's Pro kit so I am assuming it about the same drop in height.


Thanks!!! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]
