94 - 98 Axle housing and fox housing are the same width. How ever the 94 - 98 axles add 3/4 inch to both sides to have room for the ABS exciter ring. Even if the car didnt come with ABS. Some 94/95 models didnt.

You need fox width axles to get 275 tires to fit. Good thing you didnt try with Centerline wheels. Their 15x8 wheels only go to 5" BS. Usually works with fox axles,.. but definitely wont with SN95 axles.

Do like John said or if Tommy has something for you check into it.
Either way your going to need fox width axles. The wheels and tire package you have wont work in a fox with SN95 axle. I used to have a big post on this subject and what tire sizes work in which cars and which axles to use.

Yukon makes some affordable 5 lug fox width 28 spline hardened axles that arent as expensive as Moser or Strange axles. The only other real alternative will be Ranger or Aerostar 7.5 axles. That is if your rear still has a 28 spline carrier in it?

Also,.. with fox width axles 275/60 tires will rub the quads if they havent been removed yet. And you will more than likely need to do the BFH mod to the inner fender well where the inner seem will rub the tire. Especially on lowered cars. 275/50's will fit a lot better on lowered cars. 275/60 are a tough squeeze but they can be made to fit. I have seen 315/35 17 tires fit back there as well.
