I put the bump stop relocation brackets on today and got my brother, who is a prretty big dude to mash down on the back of the car. When the bump stops touchd the frame, there was still plenty to go before the tires would contact the fender. Even bouncing the back of the car, the tires didnt come close to the fenders. Im pretty positive that no matter how much i corner or run over bumps, the tires wont rub.

This is what i want to know. i havent found where you could get 325's under the car without real rubbing...

hope im wrong because i want more traction.

ive run 325/30s on my car on 11" wide wheels with no rubbing. dropped almost 2" via sportlines. didnt relocate anything.

So 325 is probably the limit without fender rolling. Interesting.

That'd be a great deal more traction than the stock 285'ers. I was going to look into that when I started Griggs'ing up my car.

there is no fender to roll on these cars..

wait till you go through a corner with a dip in it. when that happens, the axle shifts to the side and can nail the fender. especially if you have any weight in the back seat or trunk. i think a watts link fixes this? wouldnt happen with IRS, that's for sure..

:beer:Corey, your car looks badass :rockon:, curious if you can tell a difference driving on a 30 series tire vs 35 series? Do you have to worry about potholes even more? Cant decide on which size side wall to put on my wheels.

Any reason you didnt match the tire profiles? Tire availibilty? A 35 series up front and a 30 series out back is not a balanced look in my eyes but I'm very specific with tire sizes. Plus the more side wall in the rear the better with these TQ monsters.
