Seen somewhere that if you run a braided brake hose it will clear. Banjo bolt and overall line is small to give you some wiggle room

personally I always use longer/hardened studs when running a wheel spacer on a Hi-Po car. On the packages of the moroso studs is says do not use wheel spacers, tho I had them on my old fox with no problems, even at the track with the MT slicks. I just always made sure the lugs were torqued properly.

I've seen 315/35 17's on the back of a fox,.. but it was tight and I'm sure some clearancing was done.

275/60/15 is the largest tire but not the widest. when i bought my draglites from harold harper they had 295s on them. I removed the quad shocks and did the bfh mod and they fit perfect....

Ruler - as far as the E-brake cable, i seemed to always have some trouble with that (on my fox) until i relocated the mounting spot closest to the wheel. i haven't yet looked at the pictures you posted but I with others on here, i dont see how they would fit a stock axel/stock well fox or even your SN95 without some modding. please post pics to prove us all wrong

^^ look at the link the car was mini-tubbed. E-brake cables on calipers are different than drums. I didnt use that featue..I opted for the e-brake delete

Looking at the pic,..

the only reason it fits is (And why it looks ridiculous,. I remember seeing that pic) because he used a smaller tire on that rim. That rim needs a 315 - 325 tire or 26x12.5 (minimum) to fit correctly. You see how the side wall on the tire is bowed out at the lip and the tread looks so narrow. Its because the tire is too small for that rim. Thats like running a 275 tire on that rim. You should be able to run a 325 tire on the back of your SN95 with those wheels,.. but I think you will need to do some clearancing,.. and if your running tail pipes,.. I think you might run into problems with the tires not clearing the tail pipes between the tank and the tires with those rims.

6.5" - 7" is the absolute most BS you want on the back.

The tires looked ridiculous on there like that. I had to exert alot of self control to prevent myself from saying anything when he had it up for sale. I really wanted to,.. but I knew there would have been some bad backlash against me if I did.

It was a misunderstanding and my fault as always for getting the wrong size. I have an extra set of rear (16inch mustang v-6 wheels with some et streets) so those will work until I figure it out. I like all the responses and the way the tires look doesnt bother me. I will see if they can hook. If not I will try bigger and im sure I will learn all about the bfh mod
and I run dumps so the tail pipes wont be an issue and I dont have quad shocks either.

You should be able to bend the brake cable a little if thats what its hitting, dont be afriad to tweak that stuff. As long as you dont kink it the fluid will flow. E brake cable probably just needs zip tied up outta the way.

Let me know when you can come by the shop so we can look at it. I am sure I will have an answer for you.
