Two wheel/tires questions

[scott5]

Whats up guys. I am just bought a pair of dd bullets and i was wondering if anyone out there has a problem with a 315 rubbing? I just put my 315s on and they are VERY close to the inner fender do people use a spacer with these or what? My second question is that i am looking for a set of drag wheels and tires. I want to either get prostars with MT et street radials or Bogarts with the same tire. i have a 95 gt that has every bolt-on you can get besides a supercharger, I got the spray though so what size do i need to do? 15x8 or 15x10? Any does anyone have a pic of bogarts on there sn95?

Sometimes you have to "massage" certain areas..lol

Yup; it's not uncommon to have to massage the inner fender to a more wide-tire friendly shape.

I think that I'm going to have to "massage" my outer fender lips. That's the only place my 315's are rubbing. I'm just wondering if bumping that lip up is going to pull my fender in at all... Anyone have any experience in this?

you mean rolling the fender lip? Alot of people do it with no visible effects to the fender.

Good to know. I've done a lot of metal work, usually rolling the lip on the inside of a crease makes the outer edge shrink and pull the material in. I'll only move it as little as I have to, otherwise I'll have to make a few relief cuts to avoid distortion.

To bad you don't live in my area, i think i want you to roll my rear fender lip. LOL...
Had to do that on my '99 to fit a set of tires i had on it... I'd like to run a set of 315's on the GT... i LOVE the way they fill out the rearend, and just make you look mean. Plus hopefully at some point i'll need as much surface area as possible on the ground... right now it would just be for looks. LOL
