Well, the 03 Cobra arms will push that out more(on the Fox body), and most aftermarket K's will do the same thing.

However, it looks a little exaggerated due to the suspension being at full droop and not ride height.

 

Okay... well then that must be the issue. The tube K and cobra a-arms are pushing it out.

When the suspension is loaded and settled it will tuck in just a little? Wondering if I should even mount tires on these. I want them flush, not sticking out. Can a machine shop take off .5" off the back of them?

 

They'll tuck....a little. Unless you plan on flaring the front fenders out, I wouldn't run that wheel on the front of a fox, maybe if it was an autocross/road race car though.

Hopefully a FOX expert can chime in as my dealings with them are minimal.

 

What spindles are you using? 94/95s or 96-04s?

 

Yes these are my street wheels, and yes I got the GW's too (but not from the scammer - had to buy them from another retailer).

The spindles are 95's.

 

Yeah I forgot that this isn't the same car LOL. Interested in seeing the GWs because I have some similar wheels i'm putting on my car.

 

You need Fox A-arms. The SN95 A-arms are pushing the wheels out 1.25".

Is that 1.25" on each side? I still have my fox arms... I just got the 03 Cobra's on the other day.

I guess I should just re-bush the fox's and put some nice ball joints in them? Maybe grind of the metal tab for more steering clearance?

 

Thanks Vince.

Sorry for all the questions... but wondering if it's probly best to re-bushing and install 94+ ball joints on my stock fox stuff?

I changed it all out because the fox stuff was just plain worn out.

The short answer is, "Yes".

The slightly longer answer is while you are at it.....

1) Urethane bushings
2) SN95 Balljoint (or X2)
3) Box in the A-arm around the bushing area. (I can find a picture if you don't get what I mean.)
4) Notch the arm to clear wider wheels. (Like the '03 Cobra A-arms.)

Damn. All that work only to go back to 'stock' arms.

 

Ay ya yay...

I'm sure you know now, but you have to do your homework before dishing out the green.
