Wait, what? You're saying the car is on the ground and your wheels/tires are hitting the bumpstops?

Sounds more like you're trying to put the wheels on with the car jacked up by the frame rails. When you have 17x11 rims, you can't jack up the rear of the car by the frame rails anymore. You have to jack it up by the differential housing. Once you support the rearend, you can mount/dismount the rear wheels without the bumpstops interfering.

No other modifications besides rolled fender lips and longer studs. I can jack the car anywhere I want without anything touching / hitting anything else.

What size wheel spacer are you using?



That was a hint.....
