[QUOTE="Dinosgt, post: 15524763, member: 169099"] Update - put the car up in the air and contorted the axle with weird loadings (one wheel loaded, etc.). It APPEARS that the tire finds it way under the fender due to the rotation of the axle - however I cant rotate the wheel because its loaded, to see if I have contact inside the fender with the bump stop bracket. Also, it appears that the bump stops wont let the wheel contact the fender - they have about 3/4 inch gap (resting) and the OEM stops dont seem to allow much travel past that (.5 inch maybe?) So, it APPEARS that they wont rub on the fender - but only because the bump stops prevent it. Questions for the collective wisdom: 1) Does anyone know if an 11 inch rim with a 55 mm offset is pretty much guaranteed to rub on the bump stop bracket once unloaded? I know that's a weird loading, but if the rear unloads at speed due to a undulation, will it rub? 2) is it the RIM that rubs or the TIRE (in folks' experience) 3) Would an 10.5 inch wheel been preferable for someone who doesn't want to modify anything out back? 4) How crazy is it to try the 295/30? 5) Do Michelins run wide on TREAD, which is why others can get 305s on the back and I cant? Again - many thanks to those who have engaged on this. Appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
