I put my rims on to my car with out the tires mounted yet to see what they looked like. There isn't too much room to work with here. I can see that the bump stop will have to go and some inner fender wall and maybe more. Hope to god they fit with my 315 nitto DRs.

If you lift the car by the axle, you won't have any problems with the bump stops.

Yeah. With my 15x10 Prostars and my 325/50R/15 Nittos, I'm jacking up by the pumpkin and putting it on jack stands by it, that way I won't have any problems. You should be fine.

I havent really found out yet. I only drove it once on the way home and they spun a little and then hooked up real nice. I am going to lower the psi a little bit.

Thanks for the compliment. I have a SLP loudmouth exhaust just having got around to putting it on. I have been looking at the raptor hood, just not sure if I want to do it yet.
