question about slicks

82 GT · 08-14-2004, 12:47 PM

What the largest size slick that will fit under a stock Foxbody without any modifications?
I'm getting ready to buy a set.

Not sure of the largest, but I'm running a 275/50 DR in my stock fenders right, thats roughly a 26x10.5 slick. On very large bumps the outside fender lip will rub, since they aren't rolled back yet.

What size wheel are you using and what backspacing is it?

I'll probably be using either the GT turbines or LX 10 holes(15x7)
I found out that 26x9 slicks will mount on a 7inch mustang rim.
