If you go with a fitting 15" rim like a Bogart or Billet Specialties, 325/50/15. Those are what I run, on a 15x10 7.5BS wheel, and I didn't have to do anything to fit them, other than beat in the inner wheel well a little bit.

Thats true. I had to beat the hell out of mine though and cut the bump stop off.

If you jack the car up by the pumpkin of the rear end to put them on and take them off, then they will clear the bumpstops fine. But if you jack the car up by the chassis, or put jackstands under the chassis, and allow the rear end to come down, the bumpstops will hit. I left mine on, just jack the car up by the rearend.

I need to use jackstands or a rack most of the time, didn't want deal with the bump stop, off it went. Doesn't matter, looks like this now:

Ehh, just makes it easier to tuck a wheel with a narrowed rear and add the adjustable spring perches .

The more I think about it it sounds better to just stick with the 28 inchers and slam it. Mini tubbing is gonna open a whole new can of worms, not worth it right now.

Anyone wanna buy these 315's? They're in great shape.

wanna trade the 315s for a set of 28x12.50 ET streets with 3 passes on them? I'd be willing to meet halfway, so a 45 minute drive

That looks good! Did you relocate the control arms to get it to tuck in that far? Also, did you use the Wolfe kit or something custom?

I have all Wolfe parts (mini-tub, offset LCA's, adjustable springs), and if I tried sucking the tires in that far on my car, I'd be halfway into the LCA!
