Lol no sorry I was in an unstable mental state when I posted that.

But seriously, agreed with Red. 315's are pushing it but is achievable!! I have 315's on mine with slight rubbing issues on the fender. Solution: roll the fenders! Problem solved. :dancing6:

My problem are my inner wheel wells. I have beaten them out as far as possible and it rubs during hard corners. :tickedoff:

Really?! I only had to slightly modify them and now they NEVER rub. I guess we have opposite problems lol!

Our cars are not symmetrical at all. I measured and my tire to fender lip is about 1/2" difference between the two sides...car has never been in an accident/bodywork either :dunno:

Hmmmmmmm I'll have to check that out. Maybe some new suspension components are in order to help center the axle.

may be a dumb question, but is the width bout the same on like a 315/35-17 d/r verse a 315/35-18 d/r?

Should be the same as long as the brand is the same.

GaryG · Feb 12, 2008

ok, let me rephrase that

315/35-17 MT D/R verse 315/35-18 BFG D/R

With a little beating, and for shits and giggles we had 335 viper tires on a buddys 96 cobra. Ive never heard anyone having any real problems besides quad shocks with 315s.
