I'd like to get the 18" rim option, but I want them to tuck under the rear fenders. What rear end option should I choose to get them to tuck?

Thanks!

The optional Moser straight axle rear end is the proper Fox width as is the IRS.

Guys, double check me, but I think the width wheel mount surface to wheel mount surface is 59 1/4 inch.

I see a "narrow" option. Says 5 inches shorter than standard. Is that the fox width?

Yes, Fox body is 59 1/4". I have a solid axle with 17 x 10 1/2 wheels. Purchased mine from MPS Salvage in Statham, GA 30666 800-236-1156 (770) 867-0863) Totally rebuilt with new gears (pick your ratio), bearings, clutches, 5 lug axles and brakes (Ford) ... just add fluid. $1750 plus tax. ($1500 without brakes)

No. Fox width is standard.

I have a fox axle with sn95 big brake "Cobra" Calipers. Its a bit wider with the big brake swap but still tucks the tires. I run the biggest 315mm tire you can get on a 17x10.5 wheel under there just for an example.

I have the Moser supplied FF complete kit rear end out in the garage in the crate. I’ll go measure it. I believe the narrower axle your seeing on the FF website is for pin drive (real knockoff) wheels ?

What SSNK said, the narrow axle is for the pin drive stuff. Regular or fox width is what you need.
