    Default Trying to fit a 28x10.5-15 on my Fox. What backspacing?

    What backspacing do I need when running a wider sn95 5-lug rear axle? when running a 10.5 wide should I use an 8 inch or 10 inch wheel?

    It will work better with a 10" wheel. For a standard length FOX rear, you'd use a 15x10 with a 6.5" backspacing. I'm not sure how much wider the sn95 one is, but if it's 1" wider per side, you'd run 1" more backspacing, or 7.5".

    Very true, you'll need a BFH and some patience.

    theyre 3/4 wider per side than a standar fox. unfortunately i dont think anyone makes a 7.25 backspacing drag wheel that Ive seen in a 15x10...theres gotta be someone doing this

    ill get them to fit on the inside. I just hate when they stick out too far. Ive got a set of 26s right now that look ok, but i dunno what the backspace is on the wheels and i dont think theyll work with a 28
