im interested in some feedback on this as well since im running nitto drags in that size and plan on lowering my car with stranos. I may end up going with 295/35's or 315/30's before i lower my car though since my tires are pretty worn down now

o ok thats good to know..the prokit springs are advertised as being a lil more of a drop then the stranos. You got any pics so we can see how much fender gap you have?

To the OP, it is going to depend on what your offset is. I am running 305/35/18 555R's on my 18x11 Profil5's without issue. I had to do a little hammer mod on the inner fenders and rolled the fenders. This is also with an adjustable panhard rod.

Im running that tire on OE c5 z06 wheels. I had to do some pounding and roll my passender side fender lip. After that no issues at all though.

you will be fine
just most likely will need to roll the fender lips as
Fikse is not aggressive with their offset spacing and so
the tires will tend to want to rub and get sliced if your
fenders are not rolled.

if you need a roller I rent one.
