[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 16415756, member: 9628"] The bumpstop limits the suspension movment up and down (suspension extension), not the rim/tire width. I had 335/30's on my 12's to start with and only when I would enter my right hand turn 45 degree incline driveway would I get a slight rub on one inner fender well and a 1/8" spacer fixed that, but then I changed to 325's and eliminated the rub and the spacers. I have never done any mods to my bumstop brakets, removal or otherwise. The bumpstop bracket comes into play with this kind of driving...... [ATTACH=full]1639514[/ATTACH] ^^^^If this is part of an owners driving habits, the bumpstops are in the way on a GT500 with a wider tire/rim combination starting at about 11.25" and of course the tire width choice for the 11.25" rim. Also to mention, when a car is lowered, there are occasions when the bumpstops do their job, cushion (or limit) the travel of the axle and body from touching. On a lowered car these contact points are closer so this contact can occur more frequently over bumps. removing the bumpstop bracket and relocation the bumpstop itself now allows the bumpstop to hit the rear sub frame rail instead of the original bracket. I have a set of those bumpstop bracket relo's also, they were at first designed and manuf. by a member on this forum, they are very nice pieces, but since I have no issues with bumpstop brackets in my street driving habits, there was no reason to remove the bumpstop brackets and install the relo's.
