why are you putting a 315 on the rear with a 10.5? there is no point on running a 315 tire on this car unless you are making serious, serious power. 315 is also a bit much for a 10.5 inch wheel anyway. if you are pretty much stock power wise, or just bolt ons, 285 is sufficient, and some people like to do 305 for the look, and i guess maybe there is some performance benefit, but a 315 is way overkill and its not worth the hassle and expensive tires. put more money into a better suspension setup or just other mods. a Dodge viper, with 600hp comes with 315 tires. i dont think anyone is running a 315 on this car.

Advise is noted, but irrelevant. The tires are already mounted on the wheels and were at no additional cost to me over top the price of my wheels. When I replace them I have no intention of doing so with 315's.
I appreciate your advice and wanting to help, but replacing these tires would cost more. And I'm well aware of what tires come on a viper there's one parked in my driveway

haha, nice post some pics of the viper I didn't realize they were already on the wheels.

Here is something for reference: chuckd05 has pretty much the same setup. he ran 10mm spacers in back and the pictures in the thread (linked below) are what it looks like.

Volk GTS' Installed 19x9.5 +17 19x10.5 +18 ( but added 10mm spacer ) Pics & Questions

he actually went out and got 15mm spacers, but according to the thread below they were too much.

FS: 66% brand new 15MM H&R spacers

so i would go with the 10's, especially with the extra meat out back.
