Default Finally the 315's are mounted!

No fender roll... even with a 250lb passenger... no rubs!
Had to use the BFH on the inner wheel wells just behind and below the brake caliper on both sides.... 1/2 inch clearance now. The tire was just... and I mean just touching the lip of the inner fender there.

I don't know... I don't drive the car in the rain... It sits in my garage and I rub it with a diaper until it's 70 deg outside and dry. Then I drive it! IT hasn't been over 40-45 here in Chicago yet.... so I haven't really pushed the limits. I put 12 miles on the car since the swap.... I did not launch it, but it corners like a motherfuker. I have the car set up neutral for road racing.... not for drag.

I got the 17x11's recently from Ron's Rims on Ebay... $205 each. The 17x9.5's are OLD... I was one of the 1st around the area to pick them up... I think they were $300 each when I bought them... that was in like 2001.

315 KD's were $275 each installed.

So, probably 800~900 bucks on all four corners just for wheels? That's better than what I'm sure other wheels cost
