How wide of a tire can I go in the rear of an 03' GT and still keep quad shocks

[cstires]

When I purchased my car it came with 18x9 chrome cobra rims on it, however I took it back to the dealer and they swapped them for stock bullit rims/tires because the chrome cobra's were chipping and leaking air at a ridiculous rate.

So I have found a local guy that is selling his FR500 wheels/tires that I would like to pick up, however they have 315's Nitto's on the rear, they are 17" x 10.5" rims.

Will those fit on my car without any modifications to the wheel well and not rub my quads?

I would just take the quads off, but I just replaced the stock ones with billsteins when I replaced my shocks/struts.

Your advice is appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

I think thats fine. Its a common setup for our cars.

as said that is a very common wheel size put on our cars and you will have no problems. I wouldn't take the quad shocks off unless you know what you are doing and have other methods of stopping wheel hop.

My Cobra has 18X10's (295's) on the rear and the quads don't rub.

Worst case scenario, the tires might rub the shocks slightly. If they do, just unbolt the quad shocks, turn them upside down, and reinstall.

305-315 are fine on a 10.5, 315 is actually perfect. And like shiroelex stated, you can flip the shock if for some strange reason you encounter a clearance issues, or run a spacer/roll the lip worst case that is.
