Default 315/60/15??

is anyone running these on a lowered car? ive done a search and couldnt find much. i plan on mini tubing the car, relocation the control arms, and using coilovers out back to make room. probablly going to go with a 15x12 rim with 5 1/2" backspacing. just looking to see if anyone has these on a lowered car.

i have a custom cage and tubs, the guy who did the work wanted to move the shock so he could really do a tube but i wanted it to be stock suspension. so everything is in the stock location and the tub ends where the shock mounts to the body

well i was running the 325's with out the tubs on just used a hammer to make it fit, the only problem i was having was on turns it would tub (i have a spool) for most people the main reason for the tubs is to fix a 30"tall tire without looking like a 4x4 if your going to move the shock and go with a coil over i would put the m&h 390 DR
