Default I've done my searches.

I have 315's and would like to lower the rear a little but do not know which springs may work without damaging my fenders..... I do not want to slam it with eibachs. Anybody changed up the ride height with their 315's?

I ran 315s on a street car with LG Motorsports Super Springs. Those springs lowered the car, but not to the extreme that Eibachs did.

I had a set of Goodyear F1s and they didn't rub. Nitto 555rs and Kuhmo 710s did and required rolling the fender lip.

i also had 315s on my ws6 with stranos and never had a problem with them hitting the fender. i never rolled my fender but you can if you want to.

now if you carry friends in the back seats then yea you will want to roll your fenders to be safe.

Didnt have to roll the fenders.... I even put a tiny spacer on them to push the wheels out alittle more so that the rubbing on the inside was gone

any of you guys with 315s have to bash your inner fender in with a sledge? If not, what kind of tire/wheel setup are you running? Thanks.
