    Will 15" Welds fit on a fox front with SN-95 ( non-Cobra ) brakes

    Will 15" Welds fit on a fox that has had an SN-95 GT/v6 brake upgrade to get the 5 lug ? I know it will not clear the Cobra brakes but wasn't sue about the GT/v6 ( I thought they were the same but if I'm wrong please correct me ). Any help would be appreciated

    you might have to run a 1/4" spacer to clear the bridge on the caliper if you are running a 15 x 3-1/2

    My Bess (86 fox) has cobra brakes & I run 15" Weld rts
    wheels at Keystone but the fronts are wheels they make
    to fit a 03-04 cobra. A 26" Mickey won't fit on the front.
    275/60-15 MT & 11.5/27-15 QTP fit fine on the rear
    after rolling the fender lip. The front calipers needed a
    little "buffing" though. Also no room for stick-on wheel
    weights on the inside of the wheel rim. I also run the
    correct length fox axle not a 5 lug sn95.

    OK. I thought maybe something was wrong when I needed to have a spacer to clear the caliper but I guess not. Any other time I was converting to 5 lug was to run on the street and never tried a 15" wheel up front.

    That's interesting that the RTS wheels that fit 03-04 Cobras may do the trick as well. Will the 26" not fit at all or just not with some spacers / etc. ?

    My street tires in front are 245/45-17 @ 25.65" or so &
    rub the front fender lip near full lock, but that might have
    something to do with my Qa1 k member. With my 13"
    rotors & cobra calipers to fit 15" wheels they have to be
    "pushed" more to the outside. So with smaller rotors I
    don't think you need this wheel, I'm just saying how I
    run 15" welds on my car. What diameter tire are you
    running now?

    I was putting a 26x4 on a Weld Prostar. With a wheel spacer, it will clear the calipers. The tire is close to the bumper cover so I'm going to see if a set of caster / camber plates might give me the adjustment needed to get me comfortable.
