    Default Whats the biggest drag radial you can get on a foxbody

    I'm looking to get some info on what size drag radial i can get on my 92 notch that has been mini-tubbed with a standard 8.8. also quarter panels are stock , car does have coil-overs on it. I also need back spacing of the rims also. I Was thinking about 315 but would love a 325 tucked up in the quarter panel is it possiable

    the problem with 315's is that they are really tall.
    a 325 would be easier but would require alot of backspace

    I think the 325s will fit, But you'll need to do some measuring to determine what Backspacing you'll need. You may need to roll the fenders as well. Worst case, you take an inch off each end of the 8.8, get some new axles, and stuff the tires in there.

    325 fits without mini tubs and a stock length fox 8.8.

    6.5bs

    take an inch off the rear end and then use a 5.5 bs

    mine has 1.5 off each side now, mini tubbed, 5.5bs and i adjust the side to side with 1/4 spacer

    I beat my inner fender wells and rolled the lips and can barely fit a 275/50 MT DR on a 10" rim. Given the car is really low and they are tucked up in the well. I think the tires measure like 11.3".

    then you had the wrong backspace wheel. 325 fits with alot of hammering. 275 fits with very little hammering. Unless you lr car was hit hard at one time or your using anything but standard fox rearend stuff. Or your car is so low that it won't have any instant center anyway.
