I think it depends on the car. With my 27x11.5x15 slicks I didn't have to do anything to get them to fit, but when I put my 315/35/17's I had to beat the hell out of my fender walls and cut my bump stops off. Made no sense to me lol

How much of a drop is this? Also what type of shock were you using? Looks good. I plan on lowering mine sometime soon and this is a very nice stance.

Probly not the place for this but since most of you all have 15" in the back and probably know from experience, did you all do anything to the brakes etc to get a 15" rim to fit?

The Weld RTS are supposed to fit without any modification to the brakes. The Racestars require MINIMAL grinding of the fins on the calipers. Took me all of 15-20 minutes to do.

Sorry to bring this thing back, but do you think a 295/55/15 et street on a 15x10 weld rts will fit on my car without having to roll the fenders? The car is stock 7.5" bs lowered on BMR springs.

I think you'll have to roll the fender. As long as you have the fender rolling tool, it's not hard at all to do. You can rent them from several people on here.

All those cars look great, hope mine will look as good some day soon. I've got 15x10 with 5.5" b/s, I like that deep dish! Gotta get a good narrowed rear though.
