I AM the random post master...bow down
315's look just a little to big to be on our cars. 305's might look better (to me that is) but it is a big improvment over thoes skinny ones on there before

I have a rubbing issue if I turn to full lock either way, I run 17x9 in front with 275's though and I think they are just too large a tire for the front. I think they are rubbing the plastic, I have no issues with the cal. in front and have no spacers anywere. I actually want to run a 255 at best or a +/- a size.
315's are realy nice looking if you lower it a little, they do look a bit toonish from some angles and point of views. However, when I get my SSM bars installed and remove my quad shock the next set of tires that replace my current 315 will be 325-335 in back.

I have the problem in the front with a 255. But I still think it could be my calipers. I dunno. Im gonna make them fit. There is no way I am going to switch back to the stock calipers.

Numbles good to see you got some TTII's
I rub on the fronts also, at full lock. I was doing some donuts a couple weeks ago and I think the inside lip of the wheel hit the control arm or something because its chunked in a couple spots.
Otherwise mine rubs on the swaybar & plastic liner. No biggie though, but turning radius is now horrific. Its awesome having that much tire in front if you ever go to the road course though, helps tons with our understeer-happy pigs.
I didnt feel like flipping my quads so I just banged on them with a hammer where it was rubbing. I dont rub on the tailpipes at all, but its damn close. Your 315 BFG's are definitely wider than my 315 Nittos, because I have zero sidewall buldge, whereas you have a little.
Here's a comparison shot for referance:
I actually wish the Nittos did buldge a bit, because there isnt any real lip protection with them. I dont wanna go through 17" DR's every season though (I drive ~15k/yr), so I'll probably stick with the Nitto's.
And to whoever thinks 315's are too wide, dream on. They are the only size that truely fills up our huge wheelwell, all other sizes look bow-legged to me.
BTW are those chrome/polished or polished/polished? I'm sending my off this winter to get fully chromed, because the lip is already stained and the wheels were brand new this spring.

I ordered polished but I think the lip is chrome. It just blings too much.
And go-stang, no dice, Im going to the track this weekend to finally find out what the 315's and headers are doing for me. From a 5 mph role dumping it in first at about 4500 I can hook and take off. Tires are definately one of the first mods I should have gotten after gears.

Whoowee! that looks nice I must say I have 295s on a 9.5 in. rim and thought that looked nice. I'm about to get something in that direction for the 04 atleast 10.5 in. wheels with a 315. Real nice though
