02 GT rear end in a fox body

[wicked90lx]

im aware the rear in is longer. Will factory 17in bullits with a 245/45/17 work fine with out rubbin?

NO. The factory 17's with the longer axles will rub on the inside of the fender well. You should roll the fender, and or get 17's with a greater backspacing to set them further into the fender.

I would think it would work. I just installed an IRS into my fox, which is 3" wider than than the fox axle. I used '01 cobra wheels, 17x8, with 255/40 tires and they sit perfect.

Think you could post up a pic of that?

I have been meaning to get some pics during the entire install. I am getting ready to pick up the car to take it to get some exhaust work done. I'll try to remember to get pics then.

To clear the front fenders you may have to install 94-95 spindles.

If you use new edge stuff front and rear, the S197 offsets work perfectly.
