cjr198car Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 That is the back tire and it does not rub. I will be running the Nitto NT01 205's in the front. Quote Link to comment

tycot1 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 that has to rub, try taking a corner at speed and let us know. looks good though. Quote Link to comment
Wide14u Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 that looks so good to me Quote Link to comment
cjr198car Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 If they rub under hard load the car will go up in height or the fender wells will get hammered out to make clearance. Traction issues last year were no fun and these tires are the widest and shortest tire for my application (15 inch wheel). I will also be squeezing a 205 on the front. Traction and handling here I come :) Quote Link to comment
69FJWagon Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I actually fit the same on Lisas 510 with no issues except for the front (15x7 +12 with 3/8” spacer) it would hit the foot well and Lisa FORBID me to pound it in to make clearance.... the Hankook rs3 tires are a great tire also for the price, please let me know how it works out I would be afraid of to much traction in the rear and causing a under steer issue with a smaller tire up front Quote Link to comment
tycot1 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 i have the same tires, traction is for damb sure, it almost ruins the fun. Quote Link to comment
dennis Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 That shit is going to rub period!!! You are going to have to roll the shit out of those lips!!! Your combined width is 11mm farther out than me and I had to roll it like a cuban cigar make. I think you should have tried a stickier compound first. Quote Link to comment
cjr198car Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Thanks for the responses. Ill let everyone know how it goes once its on the road again! Quote Link to comment
reynolds_brad Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Looks pretty good. If you do get some rubbing in the back what else can you do at this point to get around it? Quote Link to comment
cjr198car Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 take a hammer and baseball bat to the outer fender well or simply raise the ride height. Quote Link to comment
PurePontiacKid Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I will e-smack you if you raise your car!!! Quote Link to comment
dennis Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I will e-smack you if you raise your car!!! no shit, if anything he need to lower that pig. Quote Link to comment
