Biggest Dr on a fox, stock rear end no mini tub??

[Geddy2112]

I wonder what I could fit under my car?  I have an 89Gt with 15 x 10" (6.5bs) out back, stock lenght axles, stock wheel tubs.  I run the 275/60/15 dr's now, they fit great.  I might try to fit something a bit bigger in there next year but not sure if anything will work.  My fender lips have been rolled and the inner fender has seen the 5lb sledge a few times..  Any pics you guys have would be great!

Thanks

Jeremy

I read this thread a while back on backspacing and drag radial fitment on the corral.  Too bad i already bought  M&H's 275/60/15 drag radials otherwise i would of bought the M&H 325/50/15's DRs.

here is my with 15x10 6.5 b.s Draglites with M&H 275/60/15 DRs.  no beating or rolling the fenders.  I do have Wilwood disc brakes, rear coil over springs and QA1 shocks, Team Z adjustable upper and lower control arms.

Nice car!!

bad ass ride for sure, but according to "gtturbo88" it looks like shit...... wait my bad ...... "pics of what? it looking shitty?"

well i guess some people would rather work at something to make it work than to just settle on what will fit according to the local tire store.
but gtturbo88 did set up a car domain account, so maybe he just dont want to get dirty hands?

Thanks for the pics guys! I'm trying to decide - mini tub or not. Right now it's looking more like mini tub.

We took 2" off of each side of the axle and use the rim and tire package as you stated...





good luck with your project.

I was just trying to help as I've actually got my hand dirty trying to put 325's on. For me, I wasnt satisfied. For others it seems to work. I was just offering some input.

Thas a nice look what wheel/tire size are those?

[ShaneH]

again....NMRA DR did for many years before they allowed mini tubs. they all looked good

IMO, No they didn't look good. I had an NMRA DR car back then and they all had the 325 sticking out of the fender. Every one of us complained about being mandated to have the tractor or farm truck look because of their rules.

what brakes are u runing on the rear of most of these cars

great Q I was wondering the same thing too.

[86lxnotch]

depends on what you want to run. have plenty of options. i stuck with the stock 2.5'' brake stack that fox's use and have a cheapish set of solid rotor strange s-series rear disc's with 4 piston calipers

[linkmustang]

tryin to run largest brakes and still 15in rims

[86lxnotch]

ok, like i said i have strange s- series brakes which are a solid rotor and 4 piston alum calipers made for the strange 9'' ends on the 8.8. i think they work good

[linkmustang]

what are u runing up front

[86lxnotch]

sn95 spindles with 99 up aluminum pbr calipers. manual brakes, strange m/c

[linkmustang]

what size rim and tire u runing on that

[86lxnotch]

We just took 1.5 off each side and I have a 15x10 w/6.5 b.s. on my car.  With any luck my car will sit that nice with a 315 on it.   The car hasen't made it to the ground yet..     Its still on his ^^^^^ jackstands.....

youll most likely have to roll the outer lip really good, if you notice in the pics i didnt with the amount i cut off

[wldhrse]

the question was can you fit a 325 under a non mini-tubbed fox and the answer is yes if  1. clearance (BFH) your subframe/coil seat/factory tub 2. roll the fender lip  3. get your backspace & wheel size perfect. My coupe runs on the 325's with factory tubs without an issue, hell I even run a 20 gal water cell & an 85# ballast in the trunk too. However mini-tubbing & pulling those 325's in an inch or two is definitely the way to go.
