Na, I smoothed it all out and painted it, I never had a problem with the tire being anywhere close to it, and I got 325/50/15 tucked.

It's really pretty simple. You mount the wheels, then check for clearance. At stock ride height, you might not have to do anything. If you're lowered, you'll want an adjustable panhard bar, to make sure the rearend is centered.

Once everything is mounted and on the ground, drive around the block. Make sure you make a couple left turns and a couple right turns. Jack up the car, take off the wheels. See the black rub marks? Hit them with a hammer.

Keep doing this until it doesn't rub anymore.

When you're done, you'll have some spots where the undercoating is gone. Get some spray on undercoating from the local parts store and cover them, so they don't rust.
