Default Anyone running 275/60/15?

I put my neighbors on my 02 SS, and it fits great, but not alot of "extra" room. It looks like the tires will bottom out during the launch, or a good size bump. I'm trying to find out if anyone is having a problem, and what they did to correct it! Thanks guys!

I'm running some M/T's 275/60/15s on my prostars, they rub over bumps. I think it's mainly cuz my suspension out back is shot. I ground out a bit of the lip on the fender and it's not bad at all anymore. We'll see how the car likes them when I get my 9" and some decent suspension.

Yea, theres so much extra room behind the tire, a slightly narrowed rear would probably be able to fit even more than a 275 in the wheel well!

What did you do to roll it? Are you talking about just cutting the lip, or actually rolling the lip to extend the opening?
