Default Those with P315 35R17 in the Rear???

I was wondering if any of you with the P315 35R17 in the rear experience any problems when cornering hard. Do the tires rub against the fender? I just put that size on my car and it looks as if I could experience some rubbing problems. I do not want to take a hard corner and the wheels are pushed into my fender and bends it or something like that. Any info would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Dave

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> No sledges <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" /> please !

BMR adjustable pan hard bar ! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Install on of these and center the rearend, all rubbing should be eliminated then ! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

i've got a set of 315/35-17 Kumho Victoracer's on my car with 17x11 ZR1's with GS offset (50mm). My car is lowered about 1.25" and have had no rubbing issues whatsoever.

I have 315 Yoko 032s on the rear. I think these might be a smidge narrower than some of the other tires. Anyway, I have had some rubbing both on the inner fender and the fender lip tops. The inner fenders have be modified a bit with a mallet, but on some very hard cornering they do rub a bit. Not much, I can't hear it. I just see where the tires rub off the undercoating in a couple of spots. I don't worry about it.
I have hit the top of the fender lips only once, it was a large bump at a beginning of a bridge and I hit it doing about 90-100 mph. I did hear that! It didn't really hurt either the tires nor the fenders. I have not rolled the fender lip, that's the only time I've rubbed it and it took a large dip to do it.
BTW, I have a Eibach Pro kit. The front is a smidge lower than 1.5 inches, around 1.75-2 inches. The rear is about right{1.5 inches}.

I have the Dunlops on my Grandsports and I did have to do a little clearancing on mine. I had to grind away some of the bumpstop face and beat in part of the front inner fender even with an adj panhard rod. Everything is fine now. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Guess I've had worse luck than anybody else. My tires rub on the fender lip and the inner fender. My tires have a few places where the fender lip has cut the tire. Its lower about 1.25 inches out back, I have a BMR adjustable panhard rod, Yoko AVS sports (which are a little wider than some 315's). I also changed my bump stops to WS-6 ones and did some grinding on the bump stop mounts. The rims I have are a 45mm offset (american racing 200S's)
