Arrow 315 guys inside>

Can you post a couple things about your use of 315 on the back of your car?

1: Rim dia x width
2: Rim offset
3: Spacers, yes or no (thickness)
4: Problems
5: Solution to problems
6: Linx to pics if you can

Thanks much!
Maybe this info could be compiled into a sticky or archive if we get enough response... Mods?

I'll start even though I haven't installed mine yet.
1. Rim dia x width
17X11 American Racing Torq Thrust II wheels
Dunlop S8000 tires 315/35/17
2: Rim offset
46mm ?
3: Spacers, yes or no (thickness)
No
4: Problems
I will edit this post if any problems are encountered. So far all of my research done on this board, LS2.com and CamaroZ28.com have shown no major problems mounting the 17X11 TT II's on a Camaro.
5: Solution to problems
N/A
6: Linx to pics if you can
N/A

1: 17x11 Torq Thrust IIs
2: don't remember, whatever american racing suggest
3: no
4: only if the car is lowered. If so, you will need an adjustable panhard bar, grind down the sides of the bump stops, and cut/roll part of the fender lips.
5: read above.
6: no pics, sorry

1: Rim dia x width:
17 X 10 Boyd Smoothie II's

2: Rim offset:
38mm I believe

3: Spacers, yes or no (thickness):
no

4: Problems:
Rubs on both sides. I do have an adj. panhard rod and we did roll the fenders a bit. My car is pretty low and the roads in Houston aren't exactly smooth.

5: Solution to problems:
Haven't found one

6: Linx to pics if you can

From the back:


Shows how close the tire is:



This isn't the best picture, but if you look closely you can see how the tire is almost even... Looks good and doesn't stick out.. but does rub quite a bit.

I'll add another question. Does anyone have actual experience with improved 60' times ? I am wondering how 315's with sticky street tires would compare to 275 dr's ???
