how are 315's for a DD?? advice needed! for those of you with 315's, how much BFH'ing did you do? and how do 315's work for everyday situations? for example, driving on not so smooth roads, going up and down hills, carrying multiple people in the car, turning hard, hard acceleration... etc.
my car is a DD and i do sometimes carry more than 2 people, like one time i had to take my g/f and her parents somewhere, and we took my car... it would be quite embarrassing if everytime i hit the gas or turned and a horrible rubbing noise shows up...
forgot to mention my car is not lowered, but i do plan on lowering with a pro kit.

Slight rubbing on the fenderwells... BFH'd. Was worse on the passenger side.
Also light rubbing on the bumpstop brackets... blew em off with a torch. No more rubbing problems so far.
Stock height.
Rollcage in teh car and no back seats... so usually no more than 1 person with me
Really didn't notice much of a difference driving-wise, other than the fact that the horrible vibration I used to have completely disappeared (fix-a-flat in one or two of my old tires hah). I'm sure I'd notice better traction if I didn't have sumitomos lol.

I have 315 GY GS-D3 (very wide tire- compared to nittos I had before) with a 1" drop. Iinstalled the adj. phb and bfh on inner fenders and I had no more problems. I have no need to roll the fender lips at this time. I usually have 1 passenger, thats all and no rub on even the hardest of cornering and accel.

have you guys ever had a set of 18's as well as your 17x11's... debating whether to buy 17x11's and bfh, or just get some 18x9.5's or something and play it safe... also, if you have had 18's how did your tires hook?

Ive got DMS springs on mine...ALMOST as low as a prokit, like 1/4" higher if that. Got 315 nittos on 17x11 zr1s with an adjustable panhard bar. Theyre centered perfectly and dont rub the inside, but the outside fender lip was hitting the inside edge of the fender lip when I had people in the backseat or when I hit a large bump. I had a friend thats a body guy cut down the center inner edge of that fender lip and no more rubbing. I was going to roll them but there was some body filler around that area and we didnt want to risk it cracking.
