1. rears 17x11 rims, with a 7.25" backspace, leaves me 4" deep front dish in wheel 2. fronts 17x9.5 rims with a 5" backspace, leaves me 5" deep front dish in wheel 3. just put much skinnier front wheels and tires, (NOT wanting). Yes, both the rear 315x35/17 rears and 275x40.17 fronts tires fit everywhere, full droop, ride height, and full compression. BUT, as you can see, my front rims would have a 1" deeper wheel dish than the rears. Not what I want. I guess the two options are to: 1. narrow the rear axle to be two inches total narrower, 1" each side, so the wheels are identical. I don't think I would have enough room to narrow more without other major modifications. I don't want to do that. 2. just put 1" spacers (or more) on the front hubs and order a narrower dish wheel so the fronts are the same depth or even shallower than the rears. Thoughts? anyone else have the same issue? |

The Fox and the SN95 housings are basically the same
Ford used 5 bolt 31 spline 3/4” longer axels with a disc brake flange to make the SN95 1 1/2” wider rear end Strange has these axels 3/4” shorter for Fox cars at $550 including c clip eliminators You can get brackets to move the brakes in 3/4” It’s 1 1/2” not 2” but close |
