Yeah,I though that at first when I put them on...They just come up to the fender lip nicely...But when you look out back...steam roller city baby!At least compared to the stockers...

Thanks for the compliment.

315's with TT2's on my car. DD and I've carried more than 2 passengers. I'm not lowered so I didn't have to do any BFH'ing. I'm lowering it this weekend tho so we'll see.

Had 315s, LGG2 springs, Paxton TA (like jegster), and BADZ double adjustable LCAs and PHB. I had to lengthen the wheelbase a little (maybe 1/2" at the most, also centered things up nicely) because the tires would rub on the inner fenderwells (little part at the inner-bottom that pokes out for some reason). Rubbed slightly on hard turns but were otherwise fine.

still on stock ride height, but did the BFH, more on the passenger side. I've had 4 ppl in the car, and it rubbed a little more, but no real problems.

I have been running 315s on 50 mm offset (17 x 11) since april 2003. The only issue for me has been rocks bouncing off the tires and hitting the bumper. I painted my bumper 13 months ago and underneath it has bad rock damage already. Guess I'll paint it again.

well rocks shouldnt be a problem... i have those huge "back off" mud flaps on my car for that.

lol jk guys dont get crazy on me.

has anybody with 315's kept the stock springs in the rear but took the rear isolators out, i wonder how that would look with a lowering spring up front, and i wonder how much BFH'ing would be needed, if any

I had slight rubbing on both sides, passenger side was worse. My only major complaint against the 315's is the bump steer. The car pulls to the sides like crazy on the highway due to the ruts...it is usually okay if I just stay in the left lane...course tires may have a major part of this since I am running the cheap Sumitomos.
