Well, I finally got these bullitt's put on today. 17x10.5 & 17x9. 315/35/17 & 255/45/17's. They look awesome! I flipped the quad shocks, but they look like they sit awefully close to the rim. Also, the e-brake cable is even closer than that. When I turn really sharp turns, I hear a grinding noise.... but I can't tell where it's coming from. What would you guys say.... the e-brake cable???

I bet the grinding you hear is from your front wheels. Mine does it too with the 255's at full lock. Where's the pics?

I have 17x9.5" Torw thrust II's with 275 tires on my fronts, and I get grinding as well. It is the lower A-arm grinding on the metal lip pf the rim for me. I have been wondering if getting tubular a-arms would solve hte problem.

PS...my car is not lowered at all, and I'm afraid lowering it would worsen the problem. SO looks like I'm stuck with a 4x4

The 03/04 cobra control arms should solve your problem imo. They have improved stamping which allows 10% more turning radius I believe and they also have better bushings.

Yeah, it may very well be coming from the front..... and it did do it when I was at full lock. I'm gonna go take a look around to see if I can find it later on. I hope this won't mess the wheels up.... I'll try not to have to go full lock.

I'll get some pics up later..... camera is at home and I don't get home from the office til' dark.... I'll try to take some tomorrow.
