17x10.5 DD Bullits + 315/35R17 + Sportlines = Rubbing issues?

[Xcessiv]

Hi guys,

Will 17x10.5 DD Bullits + 315/35R17 + Sportlines rub? If so, what kind of modifications are required to prevent this?

 

[PowerSplash93]

It all depends on the brand of tire, I have a prokit on mine and the Sumitomo tires I had didn't rub at all, but I put BFG's on and they rub going in and out at angles in some places (i.e. driveways)

Ok, so installing 275 or 295mm tires will eliminate any risk?

 

[PowerSplash93]

It should but Ive never run those sizes so Im not 100%

Like PowerSplash93 mentioned i run (BFG) G-force's on my 17x10.5 (lowered '99 GT) and I have clearance issues- specifically the inner fenderwell will contact the edge of the tire and shave it when entering/exiting my sloped driveway at angles. The only alteration needed is to bend (aka 'roll') the inner fenderwell upwards (and away from tires). That's easy tho!

cracula is correct. I have 17x10.5's with BFG DR's on the Back and i have had goodyear F1 GS-d3's . What you will need to do is either roll that inner lip up or cut it off. I cut my off due to not being able to find a fender roller but either or. nothing much at all. Wide ass tires for the win.

BTW the 315/35/17 Sumitoma HTR's are by Far the WORST TIRE EVER! I had two sets and they both blew! I went with the a BFG KDW in a 285 and it is a Great tire.. The sumitomas rubbed just on the passenger side!

Wow, thanks for the info! I was going to buy these tires.
