I am running 17x10.5 dd 03 Cobra's with sumitomo 315's on my 95 GT & I am looking into getting a new catback. Before I had these wheels I had custom 2 1/2 tailpipes but put dumps on instead because it didnt look like they were gonna clear the wheels. I was planning on replacing my flows anyway with a bassani catback, but I am now unsure if the tailpipes are gonna clear the tires.

What catbacks are you guys running & how is the clearance... i am pretty set on bassani, but i will look into other options & I am also considering some wheel spacers too....thanks

I have 17x10.5 FR500's with 315's.I run a Magnaflow cb.All you have to do is adjust your tail pipes before you tightn the clamps <rotate the pipe inward>.You will not have any problems.

I have a Flow cat back with 10.5's and 315 Sumitomos. I had to rotate the passenger side cat back to clear the tire. No other issues.
