ive been looking on this forum and asking around..im just wodering if i need to know anything else important..i just seen that you need support on the axle in order to put the rears on and i maybe need to bfh something to make my rear wheels with 315s fit. so is there anything else i need to know?

Is your car lowered?? You should only need to do the BFH mod to the fender well fender rolling is required when running bigger rims along with bump stop modification. You only need to BFH inside the leading edge of the tire(towards inside of fender wheel).

ultimately it depends on whether you feel like being safe or sorry... what are your plans for the vehicle? is there gonna be a lot of body roll involved or is it mainly just street driving? you say BFG 315's which are pretty wide and I'd recommend doing for sure the BFH mod and possibly rolling the fenders for insurance purposes. no need to be slicing up a nice set of $400 worth of new tires

An absolute must that i never see anyone suggest is a double rod ended panhard bar. This helped out alot when getting mine not to rub. I also BFH, rolled the fenders, Z28 bump stops, DMS springs, and had to run about 34 psi. Although I run GSD3's and they are by far the widest 315 out there and do not have the stiffist side walls so if I can get these not to rub, just about any other 315 will work fine.

what tool do you guys suggest to roll the fenders?

I was running Eibach Prokit springs with Koni shocks and Sumitomo 315/35zr17 tires. I had plenty of room with doing the BFH only. I agree that fender rolling is added security for not slicing your tires....every car is a little different so do whatever it takes to make you comfortable running the wider tires.

ok thanks a lot bro..that helped a lot..this way sounds the safest way but cant you just use your own heater and use your own roll wheel to roll the inner femder in more so it wont rub the tire

i have your same setup basicly with koni shocks and lowered eibachs 17X11 with 315s and didnt have to do anything other than bolt them and and enjoy...... just intall them first and then check and there is a good chance you wont have to do anything

bfh, because of the width of the bfgs.

ok that is a relief to know, but yah ill see how they sit first befire i do anything. so with your setup it does not rub at all when you make turns or hit bumps or anything?
