tire fitment or suspension issue??? please help
I have about 2" to play with before the rear tires hit the fenders. I am running 27x11.5x15 tires and LOVE the look of them but I'm afraid they are too tall. The car is lowered 2" so I am rubbing if it hits a little bump or I get on it. How do I make the rear suspension extremely stiff so I dont hit the fenders? I even thought about making my own custom bump stops to prevent these from hitting.
I have 2 choices.... I am selling these tires to a friend no matter what. I am either buying 2 smaller tires, and keeping the suspension the way it is, or buying new tires the same size and making the suspension stiffer. I am not sure what I would do. Please help. I would like to get stuff ordered soon.
Here is my clearance issue:

Are your fender lips rolled? Also you cold change out the rear springs to a taller or stiffer spring. Most lowering springs are not the best if the car is more of a drag car. Oh yeah just thought of another option get a set of air lift bags to put in the springs

Do the tires only hit when the car launches?
The car should not "squat" at all on the launch if it is I would recommend a set of control arm relocation brackets.
The listing for the relocation brackets can be found HERE
