I was just wondering, how close to the exhaust does your wheel come? With my tax return im thinking about getting some new ones but I was just looking tonight and it seems if i got to a 10.5 with a 315 tire on it, it will hit my exhaust (my fault i guess i have 3.5 in tip, big mistake). So yeah I was just wondering.

Also just wondering if someonne has a picture of 275s on a car compared to 315s (from behind the car)?

Thanks,

Dan

I have 315's and I have no problems.

But i do have turndowns.

I have heard of a few people that have a SLIGHT problem, but a trips to the exhaust place and a few bucks will fix it up fine.

I have the flowmaster american thunder catback that has 2.5 tube. 11in wide rims and 315's. I moved the tails alittle (rotated them alittle at the H-pipe VERY little) to move the part that would be close just alittle further to be sure no issues would pop up. I have 0 issues or rubbing on the exh. I do have a slight rub on the inner fender and lip of the rear qrtr. but only on funky turns with a hill/dip that compress the susp. fully I get alittle rub. Not even enough to mark the tires.
