Here's a little before and after. What happens when you put a 245 on a 17x11 compared to a 315.

And OINK, no givin the yellow soccer player in the back a middle finger. LOL

Just for everyones FYI, there is a small spacer on the back wheels to clear the quad shocks. The wheel shop couldn't get them off. So thats something Im going to tackle tomorrow. The wheels will be a few more millimeters inside the fenderwell.

There are no clearence issues except with the left tailpipe which is held out of the way with the hanger wire right noe. All will be taken car of tomorrow. I will fix my exhaust leak while I"M under there fixing the alignment of the tailpipe on the left.

The tires are BFG Grag Radials. And they hook so well. I havent hooked in first since the 3.73 install in the beginning of the summer.

That looks sick! Those are some meats. I plan on going 275's in the rear when I get some cash but they'll look like skinny's compared to those monsters.

Check it out after a week or so of driving. I thought mine didnt rub but they do alittle when you hit steep awkard hills, when your suspension is articulated. Mine started to get cut up and i had to pound the wheel wells abit. But sounds good so far!

Your 245's looked the same way my 275 Nitto Drags do on my 10.5's. None of my sources have had a 315 in stock for a couple months so I'm waiting for that. I'm suprised yours clear. My quad shocks are ok, but witout my 1/4" spacer I don't see how my tires would clear my bassani pipes. You car looks badass...Congrats! BTW how'd you get those 245's to even seat? My 275 DR's were a ho to get on.

Thanks for the compliments.

It was kinda funny how they got the 245 on. I was willing to put money down that it wouldn't happen.

They took what size wise looked like a 10lb nitrous bottle. And hooked it up to the air gun line and filled the tank. The tank has a pipe coming out of the side of it with a soft round end. And there is a valve on that pipe. They place the end of the pipe where the bead seats and open the valve. The volume of air rushes in and pops the tire into place.

Suprised me. But it worked. I only needed the 245's on for the time beeing untill I got 315's.

The car is not lowered BTW.

Nice rims, I have the same TTII's with 17x9 in front and 17x11 in the rear. Makes the car look 100x's meaner.

I dont have a spacer, and the wheel lip and tire at its widest point are even. Just to give you an idea of how far in removing it will put you.

Everything came out to about $1200. And believe me that was a deal. The 315's were from a friend so I got a deal on those. And the front tires came off my other rims.

Oink, I know nothing was intended, I guess Im the only one who saw it. I saved the pic as my desktop but when I went back into the alley that day something didn't look right. LOL.

I flipped the quads and took out the spacer, The rears fit flush like you said blksn95. But I seem to be experiencing problems wit hthe fronts rubbing. They hit the calipers a few times so I grinded them down as you can see in the pics. And we used a bigger spacer for the front. But I dont know if its still the clipers or the plastic wheel housing. Anyone experience this before.
