Are you sure your buddy is running a 315 on 17x9's? Nitto recommends running a 275 on 9"-11" rim and for the 315's a 10.5"-12". The only reason I'm asking is that I would love to run a 315 on my 17x9's and I also having trouble thinking that it is possible to squeeze that size tire on that size rim.
No hood clearance issues but no spacer either I believe. He also does not have tails on right now, but I sold him my 3" Flowmaster ones which should bolt right in. They cleared my 285s with ease, and his tires are only slightly wider.
I was at my friends house last night, wanted to say this...
His intake did hit his hood with no spacer. He had to cut a portion of the hood structure out after it cut up the intake. It fits now, but didn't without work.
He cut out a small little section of the bracing. Probably the width of the brace (2-3" or so) and maybe 4-5" wide. After that he said it fit fine. We just started the car last night with the T trim. Should be pretty nasty, AFR165s, that intake, cam and a T trim making 12-13 psi to start.
It wasnt too bad at all just took awhile to get the lips rolled where I wanted them. I used a heat gun and a hammer.
How do the 315's handle? I'm just wondering if the tire bulge makes them handle poorly in turns. Got any opinions on performance?
