Some cars they fit fine others need a little help, just varies sometimes and the tire being used also can impact this (some tire brands fit wider).

With the 50mm offset recommended for Fbodies you might need to 'massage' the inner fender in certain spots but not too much. If you lower the car possibly a little more 'massaging'.

Also always good idea to roll fender just in case.

You'll love the look though compared to our stockers

I just put my 315 Nitto 555Rs on last night.. no problems. BUT it can vary from car to car, worst you would have to do with the Nittos is a little BFH.

I had to take the bump stops off and BFH the inside. My Yoko's are pretty wide though, contact patch is like 13-13.5 inches, looks ******* sick though worth the banging.
