Default Im buying 315's

I had a question, do I need an adjustable panhard bar to fit 315's in the back? Or will I be ok with just the BFH?

Not enough info.
Is the car lowered?
Any other mods? What offset wheels?
What brand tires? (315 tires can vary greatly in overall size depending on brand)

Even with all that, the only real answer is "maybe." In most cases on a stock height car, no, and most lowered cars, yes. All depends on how the tolerances stack up on your car.

Yup, what Saturn said. I have widened 00 Wheels(https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-ti...pics-here.html), and with the Nitto DRs, there was very little rubbing.. When i put on the regular 555s, i had to do a good amount of massaging with the BFH, even after centering the rear.
I posted pictures of the difference in size between the DRs and street tires in that thread, so you can see the difference.

I never had an adj PHB to fit my 315 Nittos. But, I had 36mm offset ZR1's. So, I just did a slight fender roll, and never had problems. I still don't have an adj PHB, and I got my 335's to fit with minimal BFH'ing, and no spacer in the back with my deep dish C5's.

I just put deep dish Zr1's with 315 Sumitumo's on my SS with a 50mm offset and didn't have to do anything besides jack the car up one side at a time. http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Camaro-Wh...01717-3-1.html those are them

Sumi's run a little smaller than others. My sumi 315s fit with a little fender rolling due to the car being lowered.

They are nitto 315's, stock ride height and TTM's 17x10.5
So, it is looking like im going to need a Adjustable PHR to center the rear?
