Will be getting my deep dish Bullitts soon. Besides flippin the quads, just wanted to know what I'm gonna have to do with the parking brake lines. Any other obsticles I may be facing to make sure these things clear? Car will be lowered 1.9 front & 1.7" rear.
Q's for people runnin 315/35-17 rear tires & 10.5" wheels

when I replaced my control arms I tossed my quads so I can't help you there. As far as the parking brake cables, etc, I've never had a problem, just bolted the wheels up. Only thing I can think of is that you may have to adjust your tailpipes b/c these rub sometimes if your hangers are worn.
im lowered on sportlines which are about 2" all around, and if i take a corner fast, it will occasionally rub on the top of the tire on the edge of the fender...other than that, i bolted them right on...ill prob end up having to roll that **** a lil bit...

Keep it lubed .... keep it straight .... and keep
I experienced the same as Michael did above. I ended up using a rubber mallet to knock back the lip .... then put some undercoating over it. Also, I have seen guys cut that inner lip off just in case. You may not have to do it (depending on tire brands), but it's best to go ahead and do it while you have the wheels off so you don't have to take them back off.
On the E-brake cable, some have to move it, others don't. If you do, you can just un-bolt the bracket and move it. You'll see what I mean once you get down there.
Unbolt the quads and flip them. I know my flipped quads works for my F1's, so it shoud work with ANY other 315 tire.

I didnt have to do anything but bend the e-brake cable in becasue a weight on the back of the wheel was hitting it.
I have side pipes so tailpipes rubbing wouldnt be an issue, and I am not lowered either.

before I put on the aftermaket lowers I had the flipped quads and had to just "roll" the bracket for the ebrake like posted above. My rims are 17x11 in the rear so I prob. had to do it alittle more than most.
mine were listed as 10.5 but at the tire place they told me that they were 11 in wide.blksn955.o said:
The wheels ARE 10.5" wide. On the inside of the wheel lip, where the tire sits. It is also 11" wide, on the outside of the wheel lip, where the balancing weights go. Makes the metal at the wheel lip about 1/4" thick. That's the difference. Hope that helps.
As a side note, I know a guy that is blowing out prices on A.R.E. wheels. He can have them drop shipped to you. Send an email to [email protected]. He has a monthly quota to keep his status with ARE, so he is very motivated to move wheels.
Sorry about the "advertisement". I hope it's ok.

Yea I kinda figured they were measured in different places. And also look at the OE Wheels store on eBay. I got mine there for $580 shipped and the quality is great.reddy351 said:
I dont know if they make one that is taller other than going wider to like a 325 or 335(viper tire there).

Yep, you'll more than likely have to go narrower or wider to get a taller tire.
I wish a 315 with a little more sidewall was available.

If you looking for sidewall you should look at getting some 15in rims, your just not going to get much with anything 275 wide and bigger in a 17in rim. At least anything worthwhile.
I have a set of weld pro stars also that have some small...small 235x55 or something DR and they are as tall as my 315's on the 17in street rims. But the sidewall is 5-6times as much. When the DR are toast I plan on a 28in ET street or ET DR (that is = to a 28in tire).
