I am considering running some 315/35/17 rubber with 17x10.5 wheels on my 95 GT. Currently I run some 275/40/17's on the back.

However, glancing at the back, it looks like there might be some clearance issue with my tailpipes on with teh flowmaster catback.

Has anyone run into rubbing issue? It looks like they would be really close to rubbing?

I ran 315's also on my 95 so did a few buddies.Mine didnt rub but his did but nothing major or to worry about.Also you might need to message the inner fenders with a hammer,but still no worries there either.Trust me it will look bad ass when done!peace

I think LRS actually sells quite a few of their kits WITH the 315s

That size generally works with stock parts...

You MAY have to flop the quad shocks end for end, but that is a 5 minute job.

But, when you start changing things around, then you introduce the possibility of rubbing exhaust, rubbing fenders, and whatnot.

Are you all stock or is the suspension and/or exhaust modded?

It should fit without an issues. However, if the cat back wasn't installed perfectly the tail pipes may rub, but it should be a simple fix to correct by clocking the tail pipe slightly.

I had to bend the parking brake cable brackets down and I removed the quads but otherwise it fits fine.

ABS sensor wires rubbed a little when I ran 10.5's in the rear with Nitto NT05r's at the strip. You can route them a little further away without much hassle to fix this.
