315/35/17's

[BlackGT4.6]

Is any one running 315/35/17's out back on a 96 gt or atleast a 94 to 98? I am getting 10.5in wheels for the rear and need to know what I need to do to make it fit if anything. thanks.

spacers is all you need

spacers is all you need

Why would you need spacers for a 10.5 inch wheel? Yes they will fit, if they don't it's usually cause of the quad shock and you need only to flip them.

Some catbacks will rub on the tires. I know my Bassani cat back did. I had to get the pipes bent.

I never had any trouble, although i didnt have a catback...

i often see borla pipes get in the way, just one more reason to have side pipes - but most see no problems w/ 10.5 315's

Thanks everybody I appreciate your answers. I had a guy at the tire shop saying it wouldnt fit and a buddy saying no problem. So I guess I will order the 315s

I am getting 315's with my 18" FR500's (10"). What Aspect Ratio am I looking for? 30?

315/30/18? I have the MAC cat back on my car and removed the quad shocks long ago.

I have heard you do and I have heard you dont I guess I will just wait and see.

I have been running 315x35x17's with stock suspension for the last 2 years. You will not have rub problems if you use Nitto tires, they are a little smaller of a 315 than say BFG's or Mickey T's. Mine had just a slight rub on my Magnapacks on the passenger side. I just pulled the catback over with some mechanics wire. No more rub.

You do not have to roll the lip. I just put in Steeda Lowering springs and full suspension over the las tfew days and it dropped the car substantially. I still do not need to roll the lip.

*update* I put the wheels and tires on no problem. I was just worried after I went to the tire shop and they said it wouldnt fit. Thanks guys.

You can run a spacer. I have dumps so it was not an issue, but removed my quads being I have aftermarket LCA's
