i feel like havin my back wheels widened as well i think theyre only 6 or 7 inches wide
i was wondering around what price is reasonable to pay for such a job
and is there anything to consider like back space or anything like that or i can just add 1 -2 inches and put them back on with another set of tires

btw they look terrific!!!!

Looks like it was always meant to be. :D

You said something about a Mustang rear...from a Fox, correct?
Jus' checkin'...;)

That car has the original TC rear, but converted to drums. It has the T-Bird axles. If I wanted to move it in another 1/4 to 3/8 inch I would use Fox Stang axles and spacers to put the tire where I wanted it. However, after driving it I think where the tire fits now is perfect. :D

I paid $ 175.00 per wheel to have them widened. It is the same price all the way up to 3 inches widened.

Those Center Lines have 6.5 inch backspacing. I should have had them widened 2 inches instead of 1 1/2 in. and it would have moved the tire in another 1/4 inch.

...oh well, didn't know.

If you widen a stock 7 in. wheel, and put a fat tire on it, you will probably need to add spacers between the wheel and axle to correctly locate the tire in the wheelwell. That will require upgrading to 3 inch wheel studs.

Do you have exhaust dumps? My pipes are already pretty close to the 235s i have on the car.

Yes, they exit before the axle.
There is no way over the axle pipes will work on either of our 460 Birds.
