Lets see em, what size rim, brand of tire, spacer, are you running tailpipes? Here is mine.
17x10.5 fr500s from american muscle. 6.8" BS and +28mm offset. Nitto 555 315/35/17. I rolled the fender with a baseball bat, beat the inner fender with a 4lb hammer, and run 1/2" spacers. I still run the drum brakes. Switching to discs will likely give me enough room that I wont need the spacers or I can drop down to a 1/4".

Car is filthy right now. The ****ing pollen is horrendous.

Damn.... and that don't EVER rub or even scuff while driving over uneven surfaces? That's a huge mofo tire to put on there, and on a 17". Looks badass however

If I push it real hard through a corner it will rub on the inner fender, but for normal driving it doesn't. Doesn't bottom out on speed bumps either.

I've seen Nitto 315's fit but not Mickey's or MH tires on a stock suspension setup, Nittos run skinny comparatively. And you can get just as good a 60 on 275's with a better tire than a 315 Nitto DR.

American muscle wouldn't mount a 275 tire on a 10.5 rim. The only one they would mount and still honor a warranty is the 315.
