So, Im getting pretty close (hovering over add to cart)to picking up the BFG DR & some 17x10.5 rims. Is anyone running 315x35x17 out back and if so do you have any clearance issues with your sportline drop?

Thanks for the help

UPS guy showed up today with the tires. OMG! When the guy handed me the 275x40x17 I thought they were the 315's then I seen him wheel out bigger tires! "oh my...i cant believe these fit inside the wheel wells." My buddy says " your going to have to tubb it for those to fit." haha,
I said "no the guys online said it will fit, so it will fit." The UPS guys says "yeah they wouldnt lie to you" (hes prolly never been online) I must admit though Im going to be amazed to see the 315's fit inside the rear wells. Also the BFG DR look bald new!! hahaha

Ill try to snap off some comparison pics of the stockers next to the drag radial.

I have 315s with H&R SS and adjustable lower control arms.

I jacked the spring perches up on the rears as high as it could go to avoid rubbing my tires on the outside lip of the fender in a moderate turn. I need to take my quad shocks off as well because they are still getting a bit of a rub.

When my car was lowered and untouched by the Adj LCA I started to tear the outer edges of the tire almost enough to blow it out from rubbing on the fenders. It literally took a few chunks out.

Be careful as you're going to have to tip toe around some corners.

what kind of clearance do you have between the tire and the pipe?

Will I have to remove that shock that runs horizontally? That looks like a structual part.

I forgot about that.I havent had them in years.If you have a good set of lower control arms they can go in the trash(the horizontal -quad shocks).
If not you can just flip them (big end towards the front of the car-little end towards the rear)..
