youll prolly have to jack up the rear end after the car is jacked up on the frame, to allow the tire to fit youll see what i mean when you do it, the tire will look like its rubbing, just jack up the rear end and it will all fall into place.

oh and you may think about taking your bump stops out "you may need to cut this" but if you jack your car up on like a 2 post lift the wheels sit on the bump stops thats a 10.5 wide wheel tho no problems driving i guess if you got air borne you might gouge the inner lip of your wheel lol..

i had to bfh in a very smaller area to get them to fit in my car. what i did was drove around for a few miles to see where it was rubbing then removed the wheels and hit the 2"x2" section that was rubbing. since then i have order new studs and some spacers so i have no rubbing issues at all with a 315 dr.
