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 my car 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

Stinger catback - no issues whatsoever - Although, in eye-balling it prior to the new rims and tires going on, I said to myself, "it's gonna hit" - but with proper backspacing / offset, it has about the same clearance as the OEM rims and tires did.
This is a Gen2 SN-95 however...not sure if there are any differences in that area...

Thanks...But yeah the rear end is 1 1/2 inches wider on the 99-04 SN95's, so there is quite a bit more clearance in the rear...
