    Default 8.8 ?

    Will an 8.8 rear out of a 2003 mustang fit under a fox body Fairmont with just a different off set of the wheels? Thanks

    It should bolt right in. It'll be wider than the fox axle though

    I figured it would. Just wanted to see if maybe someone has done it and all I need is rims with a different back spacing.

    Depends on what wheels you have now.

    If you have stock 5 lug wheels they should line up with the rear quarter panel lip.

    Thanks for the responses. Will the rear disc set up work with a 15 inch rim or do I need something bigger?
