front wheel backspace fox body

What back space should i use on the front of a 93 fox with 95 spindles rotors and brakes and what size tire drag race only on street ...thanks

i run the 1.75 on my 15 x 3.5 ...... i think there is only 2 choices 1.5 and 1.75 ..the 1.75 pulls the wheel and tire closer in to the fender wheel

should say drag race only NO street lol........do you have sn 95 spindles and brakes Bruno?

Depending on what wheel you decided on. When I had my Fox body Notch I had warriors on it the fronts were 15x4 with a 2.313 back spacing.

I was running Aero Space front brakes

the 95 are good brakes but you will need to the the 15x4 with a 13/4 or two inch back space whatever the most they make is and run extended lugs in the rotors with a spacer so the wheel will clear the brakes, they are made for a 16 inch wheel Tried it ended up switching to the 86 ranger rotors for 5 lug. if that is what you are trying to do 5 lug conversion?

i am just building the car for drag strip...i already have sn95 spindles and brakes with the extended studs.i want to run the billet street lites..the 15x3.5 only come 1.75 back space....but the 15x4 you can get 2.50 backspace...doesnt more backspace create more brake interference

it is something about the spindles sets the wheel out further makes the car look funny i will try to ask my buddy who helped on the car but i think we did end up with the 2.5 backspace wheels with 1/2 spacers and the long studs, would stop good heck of a set of brakes but just some modifying to get to work. i know you had to take the tops off the old struts and put them on the 95 style so they would fit, something funny with the deal, we switched to a qa1 set up with 86 ranger brakes later on thats why i cannot remember everything.

good luck with the build

i have a tubular engine cross member with lakewood 90/10s upr caster camber plates and a upr coill over kit and upr lower control arms...i was thinking of using the 2.5 backspace billett street lite wheel and i think with the 1/2 inch spacer i think it will clear the rotors...what size tires on the front did you use.......i am going to use the new 2.95 mt on the rear with 10x6.5 backspacing

The 94 and 95 spindles are the same track width as the Fox Mustang. The 96 on up are 3/8" wider per side, so 3/4" total overall.

I'm running the 95 spindles with 99 brakes. I had to grind off a piece of the caliper mount to clear the wheels. I couldn't see where only 16" up wheels would fit. It was more of an issue where the skinny wheel didn't have a built in spacer due to its narrow size. The interference was near the back of the wheel, not the outer diameter. Hope that makes sense.

I have seen some 3.5 and 4" wide wheels with 2.25" of backspacing and those would fit better, IMO.

they are 94 95 spindles and brakes..so i think i will go with 15x4 2.5 backspace...what size and brand of tire drag race only...thanks for all you guy imput

the front of my car looks funny i have welds 1.75 bs and team z k-member kit but the guy at team z said they make a-arm that brings the tire in some but i don't think that will be enough. i need some help on this and don't let me leave out it backhalf and aftermarket brakes on the front which brings the tire futher out.

We have the Weld Draglites on the 81 with the 1.75 bs, I just put a team z k member under it and I must say the wheels stick out a good bit further than before. The bumpsteer looks better now , but man they bug out lol.

I had prostars on my 69 with the 1.75bs, I got a deal on some used Weld 2.0's with the 2.25, I figured the diff would be a 1/2" but ended up right at a full inch. The bs on the draglites and prostars is "bs" lol.
