Default Couple of questions

I'm planning 315's x 17" for the rear. Will I need a adjustable phr? I'm at stock height (hose mod), but will do the perch mod also.
What about 325's, would I need a phr for those? Are they a very tight fit? (I know BFH may be needed)

What would be lighter in weight, TT2 or ws6 rims made wider?
I think the ws6 rims will be lighter........

Thanks for the help.

ha ha, I do like the TT2's, but if the ws6 rims will be lighter, I'll probably get mine widened. I just don't want any issues trying to fit 325's, so may stay safe and go with the 315...... hmmmm

I had 315s on my car just fine as long as you don't try to throw the car around too much, my tires rubbed on on/off ramps any faster than 45mph. If the car is lowered you may need the phr, mine came with the springs and LCA brackets so I never noticed whether or not I needed it.
