Hey Guys,

Quick question, my F-85 is running 15x7 stock steel wheels (w/ dog dish caps) w/ 235/60/15 all around.....plans call for 11-12" brakes front/rear.

I'm looking to add a little more tire to the rear w/ 8-10" wheel.

But, will the tall upper & lower ball joints work w/ the 15" wheels?

The project is being done in stages, but I do not want to undo any purchases down the road.

Thanks!

I'm not against larger (17") wheels, just seeing if what I have will work.

Low buck project @ best......

Our Stage 2 and 2-Plus tall ball joint packages were developed first with factory 14" and 15" Rally wheels to make sure they`d fit so unless you`ve got some oddball aftermarket 15" wheels with buku backspacing they`ll work just fine. :) You`ll probably want to upgrade to larger dia. wheels later on sometime just to have availability of much better tires.
