Would that not bulge and be sloppy on the track?

Which model Hankkok you running and are you happy with them

James, I am running 275's on the exact rims you're looking to get and IMO they fit perfectly.

Ventus v12, after doing a lot of research I found these had a really good reputation.
I like them, at 285 they can sometimes be a handful in the rain but I dont have others to compare with to see if its the tire or the width.

My vote would be for the 275/40 or 285/40, but it depends on if you're more concerned about appearance, or not adding to the massive understeer a Fox already has! LOL

thanks for the advice Ed. I love a wide tire also but I don't think I need anything bigger than a 275/285 for my Fox. It looks good already with a 255 on a 9 but I like the deep dish of a 10 and want to fill the well a bit more.

norm, I just remembered you had the 10's and you were the next one I was going to ask what you were using. Cheers

I run a 275 Nitto on the 10.5" Terminator wheels and it looks pretty good - a little thin, but a 315 might not fit inside the wheelwell without rubbing and 285's are way less common and possibly more expensive. 275 was a Vette tire, hence such a good selection. It seems to be the ideal size for a 10" wheel, altho the Nitto worked on the 9" as well, with a little bulge.

Car is on Eibach Sportlines and has a MAC Flowpath 3" LX exhaust. No issues.

Pauls fox vert looks good with 275 on the rear as well.
