Question Will 315's fit through the car wash?
The car wash with the track on the floor that pulls your car. Will 315's get stuck in there?

I know they do & believe me, I would rather wash it myself. But, just incase I did, I wouldent want my car to get stuck.

I was gonna run my old LT-1 thru on last year (a new place opened up and was gonna do it for free) and when I rolled up they said "I'd rather not try, the rear wheels are just to wide"

...I'd be worried about rim damage as well because they could scrub the rims on BOTH sides if the clearance is that close...

315s dont fit, trust me lol......as soon as the tires hit the tracks the car just stopped. i had to back out and make everyone in line back up...save yourself the embarassment and wash it yourself or a touchless one

I agree, stay away from anything other than touchless with our cars.
