I have a Flowmaster American Thunder cat back on my 02 GT. I just aquired a pair of 17x10.5" rims and 315/35/17 Nitto drag Radials for the new rims. Has anyone heard of or know if the bigger sized wheels in the rear will rub against the exhaust pipe? I also plan on lowering the car about 1 and a quarter inches....

has to do with wheel offset and which catback you have.

some have issues others dont. so if you have the same bullitt's as this guy and he has the flowmaster cat back you are proabably okay.

if either are different it could still be an issue.

No big deal if they do rub, go by your local muffler shop and have them remove the tail pipes and make the necessary bends to clear the wheels.
