Default Put my Prostars on...

So I got my Prostars on 15x10 with 7.5 backspacing
I have MT DR 275-60-15

Before the suspension settled all the way the tire was rubbing on the bumpstop. Did anyone else have this problem?

What size rear tire are you running?

Does your tire rub on the bumpstop?

I have a 275/50/15 M/T drag radial. It does not hit anywhere. I have a 17x11 ZR1 wheels for the back with nitto 315 drag radials on them. They do just barely hit the bumpstop when the car is lifted by the chasis not the rear. But as soon as it is droped down it does not rub anything. Mine is lowered 2". If your's are rubbing I would just take them off. I have never hit mine before.

It was rubbing when the suspension still hadn't settled
