Bigger tires on stock rims?

boardkat · 07-22-2009, 06:08 PM

read through this and the other thread. anybody know if the 275f/305r stagger on the stock sport pkg wheels will rub on the inside? seems pretty obvious to me that there's no worry moving it closer to the fender, but i'm concerned that i would have to run more than a 5mm spacer to prevent inside rub.

I run 275f, 305r on stock wheels with 15mm spacers front and rear and I'm lowered to 26.5" at the fender lip (via coil over shocks). Under hard corvering with bumps the fronts touch down on the dimples that stick down on the front plastic fender liners. Some people have ground them off for clearance, but I have been lazy about it. I never scrape until I'm around 1g lateral load, so it's not very often.
