Re: Fox body help
10" wheel with 6" BS works great with drum brakes, and 6.5" BS for most disk brakes. Like others have said, BFH to the inner wheel well, and about an inch pie cut below the belt line in front and a half inch pie cut in the rear and you will be golden.
Others have run a 8" wheel with 5.5" BS with no cutting...

Re: Fox body help
I didn't want to trim mine any, so i stuck with 28's. 8" wheel, 5.5 bs.
What rear gear do you guys run with the 29.5 or 30's? - 5.13?

Re: Fox body help
On my M/S 85 Mustang, I normally run 5.13s with either 9x29-1/2 MTs, or 9x29 Hoosiers. It sure would be nice if somebody made Pro gears for the 8.8" Ford rearend, and also maybe a 5.38 ratio.
As for tire fitment, I dont know if the 87-93 Mustangs have larger rear wheel openings or not, but getting the 29.5 slicks on my 85 required some hammering on the inside, and cutting of the opening, front and rear. I am currently using 15x9 Weld Draglites with 5.5backspace.
